The "Configuring" section in the upgrade doc describes how to turn off the default tools.
http://velocity.apache.org/tools/releases/2.0/upgrading.html And yeah, a transient logger implementation sounds reasonable, but i honestly haven't used or looked at this code in years, so it's hard to be certain without seeing the changes or making them myself (which i don't have time for).
