We ARE assuming that maintaining SOME SIGNIFICANT compatibility with the
existing JCL is of paramount importance. We are NOT trying to standardize
on some "other" API within the industry, but rather to evolve an existing
standard with new function. The API's are based *functionally* on JSR-47
and other logging implementations. It's fair to say that there is more
than a little experience being brought to bear on this effort within the
Jakarta community.
Again, I'm coming into this late. Is there a requirements doc of some sort other than what was in this thread, have there been any votes, anything in CVS, any timeline?
there was a vote but i think it was a little premature. certainly, there's been no pressure to conclude it and it seems to me that the present consensus is that more talk and thought is needed.
commons appears to be in the process of migrating to subversion. i feel an urge to code but it'd be better to take a branch or three to further the discussion in code. so for the moment, i don't think we'll see any commits for a while yet. certainly, i wouldn't feel comfortable with any as yet.
personally speaking, i think that refactoring the discovery process is a pre-requisite to firming up the design. i have seen too much discussion on that yet so maybe we're still a little way off...
