Hi All, One of the major criteria of a logging system is the minimal impact on performance. Surely having abstraction layers and implementation layers to provide logging will have an impact on this.
As FOP is being redesigned could we not just adopt the 1.4 logging system. In time all JVM's will have this facility without additional jar's complicating/bloating our distributions. This logging system is not the best but it will become universal. Just my two pennies worth.

Ok, I think that can be done, even when using Avalon in FOP. You propose (I think) that we could provide an Avalon-Wrapper around FOP, but it could also be the other way around. I'm sure that Avalon will not stand in the way if we provide a simple interface similar to what you proposed. Logging: As Nicola said, Avalon's logger-independent Logger interface easily handles some of your concerns about JDK 1.4. org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.Jdk14Logger already exists, for example.
