Yes, I think that's the conclusion that most come to. I think most of us agree that SLF4J is the best choice for a logging facade. That said I will finish off my branch to route everything via SLF4J. I will also write up how to swap out the logging implementation but to start I will just put in slf4j-simple. I'm not picky about the implementation because it's easy to change the simple implementation is the closest to the behaviour that's there now. I just need to sort out how to flip over to a file when that command line option is set and then I'll be finished. I'll do this tonight. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org > Thanks, Jason ---------------------------------------------------------- Jason van Zyl Founder & CTO, Sonatype Founder, Apache Maven http://twitter.com/jvanzyl --------------------------------------------------------- You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in.
