OK, I found it now, thanks. I had to use WinZip to find it; Windows Explorer could not see it for some reason.
I cannot understand why they put the jar file in such a subtle place - I can see absolutely no point in that. I'll play with it now. Thanks for the tip.

I guess I had made some unconscious assumption that extras hadn't been release yet. It has and *does* come with a jar file that you can download here... http://logging.apache.org/log4j/companions/extras/download.html The jar file exists in the same directory as the build.xml file in the distribution archive. The one curious thing is that it is stored as ".\apache-log4j-extras-1.0.jar". I'm opening it with WinRAR. Not sure what you see with WinZip or other archive tool? In any case, Maven is not all that difficult to get working. Just like Ant, you download it, extract it to a directory, put ${MAVEN_HOME}/bin in your system path, place the settings.xml (that I sent you privately) file in ${user.home}/.m2, and type "mvn install". Maven downloads all the compile-time dependencies for you. The reason your Ant build failed is that it references dependencies located in ${user.home}/.m2/repository, which implies that you've already built using Maven which would have downloaded those dependencies for you. That makes that Ant build not so useful, IMO.
