I'm also opposed (sorry Grant) to tossing in a 3rd party library for
logging when the built-in logging facility is sufficient,
configurable, and adaptable already.
It's only adaptable if you want to write code. Why the heck would I
ever put my configuration into the JRE extensions or wherever it
goes? I suppose I can use System properties, too, but that is
convoluted and doesn't play all that nice b/c it's per JVM, so then
I'm left writing my own facility, which I bet a good deal of people
do, which they then end up w/ something like Log4j.
