This is not true, log4j is used to indicate errors and warnings as well.

I think this is an extreme view... but I can see how you might have derived 
this from the above.

The wrapper is specific to Log4j, we could make it non-specific, but then we 
get into writting our own logging infrastructer, which is not something I 
would suggest.

Why reinvent the wheel, or in this case logging.  Log4j does everything we 
want and keeps most of the crap we don't want or need pluggable, so don't 
have to use it.

If size is your issue... the minimal jar (log4j-core.jar) is only 76k... which 
I think is peanuts in the general case, and can be trimmed if required for 
ultraminamalists.

What is your beef with log4j?  I still don't understand why you want it to go.
