Hi Johann,

Jackrabbit uses SLF4J in order to be able to choose the logging implementation 
you want to use at deployment time (http://www.slf4j.org/). If you include a 
org.slf4j.slf4j-jdk jar next to the jackrabbit jars then the default Java 
logger is used. I hope that helps you.

Best regards,
Martijn
