I also think that as tool provider that we should not enforce any logging framework implementation. We should stick to the best api which at the moment is slf4j. Slf4j can use any other framework out there as input (api) or output (implementation). > Moreover it gives you the possibility to keep the old calls to log4j in the > source, if this is really necessary: http://slf4j.org/legacy.html Since we move to a new minor version I think we should switch to slf4j completely. I don't care too much what implementation we use in the examples / unit tests: slf4j-log4j, slf4j-simple, slf4j-jdk14 or logback Cheers, Fracnis > > Cheers, > Andi. > > -- > web: http://andreasfink.com/ > mail: �[email protected] > mobil: +34 65 1728443 > tel: +34 93 2082949 > > -- http://www.somatik.be Microsoft gives you windows, Linux gives you the whole house.
