Hi Ceki. After careful consideration I'd like to migrate the log4j routines I have written which caters to the AS/400[1] world into logback, hopefully benefitting the small but thriving "java on AS/400"-community[2] by providing better integration with qsysopr messages, spool files, qprint output and much more that I have only seen on this platform. As this introduces a new software dependency, namely on the jt400 sourceforge project, and on actual hardware to run the tests against which is rather impossible for mere mortals, I would suggest that this should go in a new logback subproject incubator instead of being merged in any of the current logback projects. What do you think? [1] IBM marketing has renamed the platform regularily, currently it is named "IBM i". [2] http://archive.midrange.com/java400-l/ -- Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen "...plus...
