There are people who embed Maven, and they are likely to find it congenial that they can make it talk to the logging framework of their choice by dropping in slf4j-X as needed. For the ordinary command-line, Jason and I and others think that we just pick a backend, put the appropriate jar into M2_HOME/lib, and set up a reasonable default configuration, suitable tweaked by -X.
Yes, we could do like CXF and have our own -- arguably, we already do, with Plexus. (Mark's point, I think.) CXF has particular discontents with slf4J related to I18N that Maven has never cared about. My view is that SLF4J has become so ubiquitous that the number of people who will find it congenial will overwhelm the number of people who find it inconvenient or problematic. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
