I briefly googled and I'm note sure if there is a proper direct replacement for
this. It looks like you're still using XML-based Spring configuration there.
Maybe using Spring Java-Config would be more sensible nowadays.

Maybe if I'm bored ;) Or maybe somebody else feels like it.

For example in AssertionAnalysisEngine:
https://github.com/apache/ctakes/blob/837666cc2f8d25520255886e9525feeeb9510fbd/ctakes-assertion/src/main/java/org/apache/ctakes/assertion/medfacts/AssertionAnalysisEngine.java#L287

Since UIMA already supplies a logging mechanism for the components, I would
tend to using it. Internally, that is by default also routed through SLF4J.
Theoretically, a user of the components might re-configure UIMA to route the
logging differently for their particular environment. You could also argue
that you prefer using the same logging API throughout the entire code. So while
I say "should", it is arguable and you might come to a different conclusion
than I do.

Yep, that one exactly.
