Hi Nils, I actually would keep logging separated as you have now, and simply use slf4j as provider for both so it will be one config file ( http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/snapshot/java/logging.html#slf4j ). In your non actor classes you'd use the scala-logging <https://github.com/typesafehub/scala-logging> which is strict and in actors the akka provided <http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/java/logging.html> adapter which is async, both use slf4j so configs won't have to be duplicated.
