Message:

Overlooked Rebekah's notes saying that the Macronizer log4j.props file should go into the Macronizer installation's web/WEB-INF/classes folder and not into the GS3 installation's web/WEB-INF/classes folder. Wasted time trying different solutions to get debugging output to go into the macron log.
