Frequently Asked Questions

[1] How to do the initial setup of my logging framework

If you are already familiar with your logging framework you might want to skip this section.

This chapter gives you a slight idea how to make the initial setup of your logger. This is NOT supported by Log4E at the moment and was not the intended use at the beginning of this project.

Log4E does not ship any logging framework which means that you have to download and install it for yourself!

Examples are available for Log4j, Commons Logging, JDK 1.4 Logging (again: you have to do this for yourself).

Log4j

Jakarta Commons Logging

JDK 1.4 Logging

[2] How to start Eclipse with JDK 1.5?

Start it with paramter '-vm'. E.g. on Windows: eclipse.exe -vm C:\j2re1.5.0_01\bin\javaw.exe
