I agree entirely, its a great shame that such a language feature as varargs 
comes at a late stage.

If the bytecode is backwards compatible (ie can compile varargs on JRE5 and run 
on JRE1.3) then this would be acceptable for me but would it be acceptable to 
all commons-logging users? They would be forced to move to JDK5 for development 
but many companies will be holding back.

Possibly you could release a seperate pre and post JRE5 interface but that 
would be extra work for your release manager.

I think commons-logging should give the benefit to the user of removing butt-
ugly code from the users applications by taking that upon themselves. Good 
encapsulation I would expect to hide that ugly stuff.

Interesting link to Just4Log. I must confess to being a bit wary of byte-code 
manipulators. What else could it be putting in there for me? I'd have to read 
the entire soucre base and swot up on byte code format to know. Then again the 
same could be said of any 3rd party library I guess.
