If you look at the Avalon dev mailing list archives you will find a
heated discussion about JDK 1.4 logging, LogKit and Log4J. I think the
common opinion there is something like: JDK 1.4 logging is not good
enough. I know this is simplified, but you can read the details yourself.
:-) And anyway, JDK 1.4 is not available, yet, so we will probably use
what's available.
Avalon uses LogKit and LogKit is part of the Avalon project. When using
Avalon LogKit's the first choice. There was a discussion at Avalon if a
common lightweight API should be defined that could be backed by LogKit
Log4J and JDK logging. But so far nobody has takes this idea forward,
yet.
Both Log4J and LogKit can be easily extended (or are already able) to
log to syslog and Windows EventLog.
