The design I have in mind is that the commons-logging implementation for the
logger you're using must reside in the same classloader hierarchy as the logger
implementation. This is why the -api JAR is used. As java.logging is available
in the root classloader, so does its commons-logging impl, and it is located
next to it in the classloader hierarchy (from Tomcat perspective; actually, it's
one layer above it).

Given the size of both projects (a couple hundred of lines of code each, it
seems), UGLI is a fork of commons-logging. It demonstrates unwilligness to work
with anyone else's API, and willingness to split the logging APIs again. If this
is not your intention, then fine, but I need to see positive results. I am not
involved in commons-logging development, and thus I view the situation as a
user, and care only about the results.

BTW, the log4j commons-logging implementation was developed by Costin, Craig,
and Robert, with only one really simple patch from Ceki, contributed for
commons-logging 1.0.4 (removing the need for a log4j 1.2 compatibility flag). I
remember attempts by Ceki to torpedo commons-logging when the project was
started, however. So I don't call this contributing to commons-logging, sorry.
Do you have any more FUD for us to enjoy ?

Basically, I now consider the existence of the log4j API harmful at this point.
The loggers implementation, etc, are all good, but I hope you understand that if
the thin API layer at the top was standardized, everyone would benefit.

-1 for UGLI.
