I've followed this debate for years now and it's hard to really justify (to my mind at least) not simply going with Log4j. It's all but a standard. I've used the JDK's logging facility and SLF4J and there simply is no added benefit to a facade API. The only real justification would be a project where one didn't want to use *any* additional libraries. As JSPWiki is hardly in that category I'd recommend simply including the log4j.jar file and being done with it. Log4j works fine and pretty much the entire Java community knows and uses it. Having a facade over it doesn't really provide any benefits and makes log configuration just a bit more complicated, especially when JSPWiki is being used in a mixed logging environment.
So I'd be interested in hearing the arguments in favour of SLF4j, i.e., what actual gains are expected.
