#38 Replace log4j by apache commons-logging

[Anonymous]

I would be happy if the dependency to the log4j
framework could be removed (and with that the log4j.jar
file). When apache-commons-logging would be used, i
could use the default JDK logging API which is my
preferred one.

I would vote against this feature request. Better to use
sl4j as a clean, simple facade instead of adding the
ugliness of commons logging.

Exactly. Adding commons-logging just introduces a new
dependency on commons-logging.

If you want to remove the dependency on log4j, then switch
to using JDK logging directly.

FYI we're not currently using JDK logging because it wasn't
available in Java 1.3, and we've been trying to maintain
backward compatibility.
