Even if someone does have a problem wit it, it doesn't matter. The code was contributed to the Log4j project under the Apache license. As long as you don't remove attribution or the license, you can do anything you want with it and don't need anyones permission. > It of course would be ideal if the appender was included in the > log4j.jar package. > I doubt this will happen for Log4j-1.2 and Log4j 1.3 has a more flexible system for rolling files, theoretically making the CompositeRollingAppender obsolete. If you make improvements to the code and you care to contribute the improvements, we can keep them in the contrib package, either as an update to the existing class or a brand new class.
