Answer 1

i'm using log4j with my RCP app
here's what you should do: just drop log4j plugin (you can get the 'osgified' version from Spring Bundle Repository) and then, drop it to the 'dropin' folder of your eclipse installation.
then, you should add this plugin as a dependencie of your app and on your Activator class, do the following:
URL confURL = getBundle().getEntry("log4j.properties"); PropertyConfigurator.configure(FileLocator.toFileURL(confURL).getFile());

and drop this 'log4j.properties' on your root folder of your app
