Logging (Was: [Htmlparser-developer] version 1.3)

[Somik R. <so...@ya...>]

Great to have a discussion going! I'd like to branch off all the issues into
seperate threads so that we could deal with them seperately.

Using either JDK 1.4 or log4j ties you down to a specific logging API. The
latter will add to the weight of the parser. (I was actually considering
log4j sometime back, but Claude Duguay convinced me otherwise)

If however, more logging support is needed, I guess it could be added using
a facade (or adapter) with JDK 1.4  (or log4j), externally. This is of
course open to discussion.
