      Summary: the org.freemarker module should express a dependency on org.apache.log4j but doesn't

      Workaround: edit modules/org/freemarker/main/module.xml and add the dependency

      The long version:

      "rest endpoint-from-entity" works fine in the version of Forge that is bundled in JBoss Tools 4.1 (Forge 1.3.3).

      However, the DTO-based functionality added in FORGE-1060 looked tasty, so I downloaded Forge 1.4.1 and took it for a spin.

      Regardless of whether I run 1.4.1 standalone or within JBoss Tools (Eclipse), "rest endpoint-from-entity" fails with

      java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.log4j.Priority from [Module "org.freemarker:main"

      (I have a complete stack trace but it doesn't add anything profound).

      Once I edited modules/org/freemarker/main/module.xml and added a dependency for the "org.apache.log4j" class, "rest endpoint-from-entity" ran happily and generated the expected classes.
