I would tend to agree. Pluggability in a logging service is a bit of
over-engineering. But given the intended timeframe of Ant 2, doesn't shooting
for the JSR make the most sense? That ways, when JDK 1.4 comes out, Ant can
use its logging API directly, rather than adding its own. This is also the
best argument for log4j - to the extent that the standard logging API will
follow the path set by log4j, it will probably be the easiest bridge to the
standard.
If it were not for these factors, I would tend to agree with you that logkit
would be preferred - a simpler API is generally to be favored over a more
complex one, and the greater historical stability could be a good sign as well.
But with a standard looming ever closer on the horizon, it would seem to be
spitting in the wind to ignore it.
