Hi Jukka,

 I think that we need to standardize on the underlying logging library in
the core Tika code. I'm actually a fan of JDK's logging facilities, however,
I'm open to other options as well.

 It's going to be difficult to control the underlying log libraries used by
external parsing plugins, agreed, however that's partially a function of how
the external library is called (e.g., if it's called through a
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(), then we'll have little programmatic control of
the external log library, versus if it's called programmatically, and has
Java APIs).

 In any case, my +1 for JDK logging.

Thanks,
  Chris
