This is my jcsc.bat file

java -Xmx64m -cp %CP_JCSC% -Djcsc.home=%JCSC_HOME%
-Dlog4j.configuration=jcsc.log4j
rj.tools.jcsc.JavaCodingStandardChecker %1 %2 %3 %4 %5
%6 %7 %8 %9

which launches jcsc. Jcsc also has a Ant task but
since I do not pass in the log4j.configuration I get
the following Ant output:

$ ant jcsc
[...]
Buildfile: build.xml
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger
(rj.tools.jcsc.ui.RulesDialog).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system
properly.

jcsc:
   [delete] Deleting 232 files from 

I changed the ant script to include that log4j
property but still no success.

"$JAVACMD" -classpath "$LOCALCLASSPATH"
-Dlog4j.configuration=jcsc.log4
-Dant.home="${ANT_HOME}" $ANT_OPTS
org.apache.tools.ant.Main $ANT_ARGS "$@"

What am I missing???

Thanks,
Ralph
