Re: [Rails-devel] Update of the logging framework

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Brett:
Main limitation is the much better documentation. And there is not much 
documentation on log4j except the api and few introductory documents. 
Compare this to one below.

The reason I had to look for documentation was mainly how to 
include/enable/disable the log4j logging during unit testing.

And from the developers involved logback is log4j version 2 anyway.
