Hello Javier,
Thank you for writing to us.
The type of bridging effort you describe get quite complicated fairly quickly. In this particular case, that is Handler->Appender type bridging, I fail to see the long term added value to our users. However, I'd like to encourage you to set up a separate project to see if there is an interest for your effort.
Best regards,

Hi. I have just created a java.util.logging.Handler class allowing to plug-in regular Appender classes in the java.util.logging system, so that applications using this system can benefit from the large number of Appenders out there. They are plugged in just via standard configuration java.util.logging files (plus the regular log4j configuration), without changing the code. In this way we hope to be able to use the standard java.util.logging facilities, while not risking to lose the superior abilities of log4j and related tools.
This feature does not help in enhancing the java.util.logging configuration, but I have also created other classes for this, which allow to create more than one instance of a java.util.Handler while having each one of them using different configuration parameters taken from the standard configuration files. It should work with most standard Handlers, including the one I created to plug in Appenders, so allowing for more than one Appender to be plugged in.
I actually am surprised of not having found these features out there. Maybe I did not search hard enough? Am I wrong, and these very same things have been already solved long time ago by you or others?
If not, I thought you could be interested on them, although since they actually promote the usage of java.util.logging and hide log4j behind, this may not be the case. At any rate, if you are interested in including them in log4j, just ask me.
