I just wanted to point out that standardization of a Java Logging API is underway. See http://java.sun.com/aboutJava/communityprocess/review/jsr047/index.html.
The proposal looks fine; my guess is that all logging frameworks/libs will support this Standard API quite soon (in the next 3-9 months). IMHO regarding the logging we should wait with redesign until this is available; then each ant user could choose his/her preferred implementation like the XML parser now.
