Apache Log4j (1) is not developed any more. Last release is 1.2.17 from 26-May-2012 and contains vulnerability issues. Use the standard listener or your own custom listener instead.

this task should have never been released and was obsoleted by ResourceCollection support in Copy available since Ant 1.7.0. Don't use it.
