Gary Gregory commented on LOG4J2-363:
-------------------------------------
Well, it depends on your POV I suppose. If you develop code that logs to Apache
Commons Logging (ACL) then you will include the (misnamed IMO, it should be
log4j-acl) log4j-jcl artifact ID to your POM, which includes the dependency
above to ACL. Then your app can happily log to one of the ACL supported target
log libs. If the dep is on the ACL API jar, then your application will not log
unless you add the 'normal' dependency in your POM. In both cases, you'll need
to add a dep to the target log lib(s).
If your unit tests never uses a code path that causes logging to an ACL target
lib, then you can get away with depending on the ACL API jar.
The other case is if your app depends on an ACL back-end that is NOT
implemented in commons-logging, then you'd want the API and the impl would be
superflous. That seems like the exception rather than the norm.
What am I missing?
