I was the author of XMLLayout in log4j up until revision 309623. So to ensure closest compatibility, I just took the original code in log4j for which I co-own the copyright. However, I also looked at your code. Moreover, the code for outputting MDC data (properties) was copied from your version. Those are the reasons for adding your name as a co-author. It just seemed like the decent thing to do. If you are still unconformable with that, please let me know.
Hi.
Is there any reason you didn't just take the XMLLayout.java I contributed to the JIRA case and put in?
The XML generated is suitable for human reading, is 7-bit clean and includes a human readable time value?
As it is now, I see no reason what so ever that you put my name on the authors list :(
