First off let me admit that I'm a noob at both Linux and java, and log4j for
that matter.
I don't know how to package anything so my class that you see is a simple java
class which I compiled using javac. I then run it using 'java HelloWorld'.
I'm running fedora 21. When I do a 'yum list log4j' it says I have 2.0-1.fc21.
Thanks,
Nick
