JConvert is an opensource project developed in Java that converts various units of measure. JConvert comes with 2 interfaces. The first is a friendly user GUI that will allow you to select from a series of conversion categories.

The second "interface" is basically the application programing interface or API, for Java developers. Simply place the jar in your classpath and voila, you have access to the API. While this jar does not depend on log4j, if you have log4j in your classpath, it will use it. Just make sure that you have defined your log4j.properties file in the classpath.
