Ok, I think that can be done, even when using Avalon in FOP. You propose (I think) that we could provide an Avalon-Wrapper around FOP, but it could also be the other way around. I'm sure that Avalon will not stand in the way if we provide a simple interface similar to what you proposed. Logging: As Nicola said, Avalon's logger-independent Logger interface easily handles some of your concerns about JDK 1.4. org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.Jdk14Logger already exists, for example.
