PS: I'm also willing to create a new implementation of LogFactory which will discover the available log implementations at runtime, rather than the compile time strategy which exists now.
sounds interesting. the idea of using commons-discovery to find all implementation at runtime has come up before but AFAIK without much action.
IMO, adding a dependency to commons-logging is a very bad idea considering
how many other projects use it and have no need for commons-discovery. If
commons-logging was released with another dependency I would just keep
using old versions to avoid the new dependency :-(.
it could be an optional dependency distributed in an optional jar. those users who wanted to use a discovery based method could drop in the jars. other downstream users would continue to use the core library which would not have such a dependency.
