Hi,
What is the purpose of exposing a factory for loggers in the generally
exported package (java.lang) and making it standard Java API as opposed
to keeping it internal API as it is now
(sun.util.logging.PlatformLogger)? Is this going to become an official
front-end for JDK-internal and applications use, available in the
platform itself?
Otherwise I think it's good to add support for interfacing other
backends (besides JDK14 Logging and stderr) to platform logger. If one
wants to interface some other backend to platform logger now, it's
actually doable, but only via the intermediate JDK14 Logging API, like this:
PlatformLogger -> j.u.l.Logger -> jul-to-slf4j -> slf4j-WHATEVER-BACKEND
Adding support to skip JDK14 Logging would simplify configuration and
make it more lightweight.
Regards, Peter
