The avalon jar is indeed quite small (only 25K or so), but this dependency I'd like us to eventually get rid of in favor of what Xalan does with its messaging and i18n instead. (I suspect AH or RX don't bother with loggers, they're probably more like Xalan as well.) Xalan appears to route all messages through an XMLMessages.java [1] (with a couple of subclasses for XPath and XSLT-specific messages) with the result going to stdout by default. (I don't know what happens in embedded usage, whether those messages can be re-routed to a logger of the user's choosing.) Also, they use message constant enums so they can get the messages to appear in multiple languages.
