The jakarta-log4j port is installing a single JAR file with no version
number in it (as it is recommended by Ernst proposal if I remember).
However, log4j 1.3 will drop suuport for JDK1.1 and therefore we will need
to keep two versions of the library at the same time. How are we supposed
to deal with this ? Maybe just install versioned JAR files with
symlinks... But then we would need some standardized way of doing such as
a script or a ${INSTALL_JAR} statement in bsd.java.mk.

What are your opinions ? Is there already something recommended ?

Herve
