Hi, I looked around a bit more today and I don't think SLF4J Simple is viable long term, I don't want to patch it anymore as I would have to do a day's work to make changes that keep the performance levels up, get it reviewed and released, and I honestly don't think it's worth it anymore. I would rather spend my time building out the plugin test cases and help to finish the classloader blocking of SLF4J. I don't mind spending time getting it all working but I don't want to waste my time on an implementation we're going to toss.
After a conversation with the PMC it will require a vote to accept Logback which is EPL but I wanted to ask committers and interested users about using Logback. I believe Logback is the best choice as it's the most mature and battle tested implementation because once it goes in it's likely not ever to come out. Many of us are users and have integration experience with Logback and it's what I use everyday for logging in all my other projects and I've been a happy user for years. I see Logback as best of breed and widely adopted including 8 projects at Apache. There's no point in asking the PMC to vote on the acceptance of Logback if it's not acceptable by the community. If there are interested users I would really like to hear what you think because you're the ones who will have to live with the choice that is made.
