Enabling standard log4j logging in Kettle (PDI)

I had the need to see mondrian logs in spoon, to debug a few things. But kettle doesn't have any existing log4j.xml file that I can use to edit the info I want. Easy enough to fix though.

1. Edit spoon.sh (or the equivalent on your operating system)
2. In the end of the file, look for a like that starts with OPT="..."
3. Add "-cp . " to the beginning of the line, staying with something like: OPT="-cp . $OPT (...)"
4. Drop a log4j.xml file to the same dir as spoon.sh

And voilá.

CDE Stable Release available - 12.02.27

This is huge. I think it's been over an year since we released CDE 1.0 RC3. Way too long.

We recently moved to a rapid release cycle but CDE was the last one to enter that cycle. Until now.

In http://cde.webdetails.org you can now find an installer for CDE. The changes are so many that I can't even begin

For the ones using Ctools-installer, the stable flag will install this version while -b dev will still point to trunk.

Have fun!
