Tool Setup Instructions

Log4J API, Version 1.2.8

If the course you are setting up requires Log4J 1.2.8, follow these instructions to set it up on the student and instructor machines. If you have questions, please contact your courseware vendor.

The binary download for Log4J is located at:

http://www.apache.org/dist/logging/log4j/1.2.8/jakarta-log4j-1.2.8.zip

After downloading, unpack the entire contents of the archive into a new directory anywhere on the machine; on Windows systems, extracting right to the c:\ root is a common practice, since everything is contained in a root directory jakarta-log4j-1.2.8. We also suggest renaming the top-level directory to something simpler, such as Log4J. Wherever you install it, this root directory is the Log4J home, and an environment variable LOG4J_HOME must be created with this path as its value.
