Having said that * we have to support JDK 8 but there is no need to add Java 8 only features * I’m sure that some Turbine installation in the wild have not seen a JDK update for years :-) * I have customer which are stuck to JDK 1.6/1.7 (mostly AS400) > > - Logging: Turbine Trunk had log4j as logging framework and has currently > slf4j with default log4j, cft.http://www.slf4j.org/legacy.html.

I am happy with each one of them. Which way we > should go? The Avalon Framework depends slightly on Log4j https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/avalon/framework/avalon-framework-impl/4.3.1/avalon-framework-impl-4.3.1.pom <https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/avalon/framework/avalon-framework-impl/4.3.1/avalon-framework-impl-4.3.1.pom> and a couple of Fulcrum components are importing log4j as well - what would be the benefits? > > Best regards, Georg > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
