Yes - there is no problem with duplicating toString() or exception
messages. That has been confirmed by Sun. I expect we'll get the
same answer for log messages. Lets go forward with duplicating the
format, and I'll get written confirmation from Sun that it's ok.
(Man, I can't wait until their impl is out in open source ;)

I hope this won't be the reason of legal claims. I remember the
discussion about the toString() method several months ago - do we
allowed to use Sun's strings or not.
The conclusion at that time was that Sun preferred that we *do* use
the
same exception messages to ensure compatibility. I see no material
difference in this case (i.e. there is no implementation advantage to
the logging message format).
