Well, the prefered logging package as Jakarta Common's Logging package, as it provides
a nice and well-designed abstraction layer on top of various
logging packages, incl. log4j.

Nick, it actually is. In the lib directory, you'll find both common-logging.jar and
log4j-1.2.8.jar ... iow, both are there.

Well, there's a manifest file in the CVS repository. I guess it just takes updating it
... do you mind creating an enhancement request for this, pretty please
?

Mea culpa. As part of reworking the performance caches, I got some code wrong. I just
checked in some updates to CacheRegistry.java yesterday that
should take care of this problem. This patch has been sitting on my home machine for
quite some time now, but apparently didn't make it into the
repository.
