Work well with Apache logging (Log4J)
-------------------------------------

                 Key: UIMA-282
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-282
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: Wish
            Reporter: Greg Holmberg
            Priority: Minor


UIMA uses the standard java.util.logging (JUL).  Most of my company's code used 
Apache Log4J, so we have a problem merging the messages from the two logging 
packages.  Given that UIMA is now an Apache project, I think it makes sense 
that it work with Apache logging.

Two options occur to me:

1. Change all the logging calls in the code (perhaps Eclipse refactoring tools 
can help with that).  Here's some discussion on migrating:

You could convert either to Log4J ( http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs ) or 
to Apache Jakarta Commons Logging ( http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging 
), which would allow UIMA to be configured to use either JUL or Log4J.

2. Write/find a JUL Handler that re-directs to Log4J.  Here's an example:
