Bug 30687 – jar created by dev-java/commons-logging (version 1.0.3) doesn't have log4j support

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Rhett Sutphin 2003-10-08 12:11:54 UTC]

The java library /usr/share/commons-logging/lib/commons-logging.jar created by
`emerge commons-logging` does not contain log4j support, despite the presence of
log4j on the system.  (And despite the ebuild having an explicit dependence on
log4j.)

From a close examination of the output of the build, it is clear that it is not
finding log4j.  However, the messages that indicate this fly by quickly, and
there is no warning that the resulting library is incomplete.

Since log4j integration a major use of commons-logging, and the binaries you
download from the Jakarta Commons project do have log4j support, this is a
substantial failing of user expectations.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge commons-logging (at the moment, this gets you 1.0.3)
2. Examine /usr/share/commons-logging/lib/commons-logging.jar like so:
   $ jar tf /usr/share/commons-logging/lib/commons-logging.jar | grep -i log4j
3. There should be several classes with log4j in the name, like Log4JLogger and 
Log4jFactory
Actual Results:  
Those classes are missing.

Moving this again to [e-mail], so everyone out there can help.

This should be fixed now. Please resync your portage tree, and try again. =)

Thanks.
