log4j.jar version conflict

ping

FWIW
If I recall the last released version of log4j brought in several new dependencies, I am assuming you are using those new features ?

No, I'm not aware of some dependencies. We just make use of the additional
trace level.

Hello Tom,

Parts of my plug-in's code depend on log4j, but a newer version than
IDEA is using. Currently, I can work-around this problem by removing
the log4.jar from the IDEA SDK and use my own. I have not tried
running/debugging my plug-in, but I guess it will fail. Do you plan to
turn IDEA's plugin architecture into some kind of OSGi framework?

No, we don't have any such plans for version 9. Can't the problem be solved
by simply upgrading our bundled log4j?

Hello, Dmitry!

I start writing plugin for documentum. Documentum primary library is DFC (documentum foundation classes), which depends on log4j
(Implementation-Version: 1.2.13 accorfing to Manifest in attached jar)

When I try to perform simple action calling dfc methods in plugin development enviroment, it produce error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.log4j.spi.LoggingEvent.getLevel()Lorg/apache/log4j/Level;
    at com.documentum.fc.tracing.impl.TraceItem.getMessage(TraceItem.java:176)

How I can avoid this problem in graceful manner? I want write plugin for sharing with community without modification of primary IDEA files/libraries.

any news?
