Regarding the Ceki G. very good book, I had already purchased it and worked through the mentioned chapter on extending log4j however, it did not meet my requirements for a built-in trace level. So, I modified log4j myself, which fortunately was not hard to do. I initially had trouble compiling log4j unmodified and, actually, asked a question on the developer list about that which was ignored. I don't have a jms.jar and don't know how to get one easily so all of the classes don't get built. My modification seems to work fine but I am neither qualified nor inclined to become a log4j developer so I asked the question here about whether there is a readily available log4j modification with trace. I don't think that requiring people who want a jar with Logger.trace() and Logger.isTraceEnabled() built in to modify log4j themselves especially with hard-to-find jars necessary to get a full build qualifies as "readily available".
I am happy to share my modification with anyone who requests it, source code, prebuilt jar (jdk 1.4; it won't do java message service related stuff unless you build it yourself with jms.jar) and how-to-build instructions included but I'm sure this would be better if it came from a qaulified log4j developer.

You don't need to look at CVS to find what you are looking for.
A search of the log4j-dev mailing list would have revealed many posts over
the past year which answered your question. Perhaps you should look there
before making remarks regarding what the log4j committers have and have not
decided to do.
A vote was taken on adding the trace level and the functionality you desire
has already been added to the forthcoming log4j 1.3 release.

I did do my research, thank you very much. Plenty of it. This stuff you
sent is buried somewhere in a CVS server evidently. What research would
reveal this? This is not an idle question, the links you sent me are not
complete ... a modification to Level is required also and I don't know how
to find that.
