Since you now require Java 1.4 and up to build Ozone,
that means you are guaranteed access to the new Java
Logger API that was added to the Java SDK in 1.4.
Since this is a part of the base SDK, you should remove
the use of external logging tools such as log4j because
it is basically redundant.

    Log4J is only included for command line compatibility;
    internally java.util.logging is used.

    In that case, I recommend an End Of Life (EOL) approach like
    Sun uses, where after some predetermined number of versions
    have elapsed, the legacy command line is no longer supported
    (and therefore the superfluous jar could be removed).
