Reading Ceki Gülcü's trashing of commons-logging [1], i'm wondering if
we have other options as to what our usage of JCL is concerned (slf4j
[2] ?).

I'm by no means an expert on classloaders and logging , but Ceki's
wording at the end is clear enough for everyone to understand :

As demonstrated above, JCL's discovery mechanism invents new and
original ways of shooting yourself in the foot. For example, with JCL
you can shoot yourself in the foot while aiming at the sky. Thanks to
JCL you can be hit by lightning in the middle of the desert when it's
not raining. If your computing life is too dull and trouble is what
you are looking for, then JCL is the way to go.



Thoughts? (has this been hashed over before?)


sl4j offers a compability/migration layer for JCL so there's really no reason not to try it... :)
