Hi there,

I'm developing a plugin under Eclipse3.2 and running into some trouble...
I have one class created by PDE and want to do some initialization work in
the start() method:

private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(Activator.class);

public class Activator extends AbstractUIPlugin {
public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
log.debug(">>>Entering start()");
super.start(context);
do some initializtion work here...
log.debug("Leaving start()");
}
}

Runing it, I'm warned with the following message:
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger.
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

I wrapped log4j.jar as a plugin, and use Buddy Loading.
I'm sure the configuration of Buddy Loading is correct because the plugin
print debug information using log.debug somewhere else in this plugin.

I think probably the problem is the sequence of plugin loading. By the
time Activator.start() is invoked, the plug in log4j is not registered yet.

Also I do not want to include a log4j.jar in my plugin. How could I make
it?
Could someone shed light on this problem and point me to right direction?

Thanks in advance,
Jason

Sorry, it does not print anything.

Jason,

Log4j is starting fine - tt just can't find its initialization file,
which by default is called log4j.properties.

Take a look at the Log4j documentation
(http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html) especially the
section on "Default Initialization Procedure"

Regards
Neil
