Apparently the selection of slf4j might not suit everyone. While I am comfortable enough with its API (I prefer slf5j), it does cause us to impose downstream dependencies on our users that aren't really necessary. As an implementation of an EE specification it would be nice of us to impose dependencies, particularly ones that require a degree of manual intervention like slf4j, on our users only when absolutely necessary. We have 233 .java files in src/main folders, only 10 of which contain the String "slf4j" by which I guess that we are only logging a very small amount of information, in which case we might consider ourselves better citizens to simply use jul for BVal regardless of how we may feel about it in the context of implementing applications.
Thoughts? Matt
