Robert, Thanks for your reasoned reply. From a quick search of the mailing list, it seems that well-thought out replies are common from yourself ;)
I probably shouldn't have posted my hasty email before - from reading now, I can see how it looked like a troll. I guess I was wondering why jakarta allows two different logging toolkits. If there is an advantage of the avalon one over log4j, then I would like to hear the differences. If these advantage can be rolled into log4j - then we should do that. It just seems like there is a lot of duplication of code (which the Open-Source movement is supposed to address), and I was frustrated that yet another toolkit was being released. So my (more reasoned) questions are: - what differences & advantages / disadvantages do one toolkit have over the other? - what prevents this toolkits being rolled into one? Thanks in advance.
