I believe so.  I remember discussing the idea of the abstraction layer
before Rod wrote it, and Avalon never came up.  Of course, I don't claim to
have a perfect memory.  ;)  org/apache/commons/httpclient/log/Log.java is 5
months, 4 weeks old, while org/apache/avalon/framework/logger/Logger.java is
2 months, 4 weeks old, if that is any indication (which it may not be, who
knows).

It doesn't really matter IMO.  Clearly people who knew Avalon were involved
with the discussions over the past few months, as were people familiar with
Log4J.  I remember Ceki was a very active participant in the early
discussions.  There should be some mention of both projects as influences to
the final product, although the basic approach may not originate from
either.

So, you are saying that httpclient originated the code without influence
from avalon?
