Integrate log4j in standalone-RCP-Application [message #463491]

Hi!

I'm new to RCP and building a little RCP Editor app.

I had the idea to provide some logging and tried to integrate log4j
in my RCP-application.

Unfortunately I don't manage to tell eclipse where the log4j.properties are.

(I know, that there other logging-ways, but I would like to get this
working.)

I tried to follow the instructions on:

http://www.leegrey.com/hmm/2004/07/22/1090536124000.html

to set a classpath-variable LOG4J_PROPS but actually I'm not sure where
to define this classpath-variable in eclipse 3.2.!

I have to choose a launch-configuration and then?
Tab Arguments -> Program-Arguments or VM-Arguments? Or tab environment
and there new environment variable?

Whatever I tried, didn't work.

Maybe anyone has got any idea.

Greetings, Hermann

Yes thanks!

I've read the article, but it was too complicated for my level of
knowledge. So I kicked away this log4j-thing and now I log with ILog. ;)

That might be a wise choice, Hermann! Do you know where it logs when you
have your own stand-alone RCP application?
