Apache Companions\u2122
Apache Companions\u2122 for Apache log4j\u2122 is a jar file full of additional functionality for log4j 1.2.x.
Apache Companions for Apache log4j is a product of the {{{http://logging.apache.org}Apache Logging Services Project}},
a project of {{{http://www.apache.org}The Apache Software Foundation}}.
Many of these components were originally developed in the discontinued Apache log4j 1.3
development effort.
Version naming:
The package will use the log4j it requires + optional bugfix version after version 1.2.
For example, if the Companions release requires log4j 1.2.17 to work, the Companions
release will have the version number 1.2.17 too. If new version is necessary, the release
will be named 1.2.17.1, 1.2.17.2 and so on.
* Component
This companion implements on log4j 1.2 the component framework from the discontinued log4j 1.3
development activity to support backporting log4j 1.3 code that depends on the framework.
* Receivers
This companion provides a collection of receivers from the log4j 1.3 project for use with log4j 1.2.
* Extras
A collection of appenders, filters, and layouts for Apache log4j 1.2. These components are built and tested
using Apache log4j 1.2.9 and supported for use with an later 1.2.x release. Some components may
be usable with Apache log4j 1.2.8 and earlier.
