Paul J. Reder commented on OWB-300:
-----------------------------------

SLF4J does appear to provide support for args and NLS but, as Joe pointed out, 
those were required to support what OWB currently had and the original 
motivation for changing to JUL was to reduce the number of dependencies (and 
overall resources) that OWB required. Adding SLF4J swaps one dependency for 
another (at minimum - assuming JUL) or adds a new dependency (for SLF4J on top 
of log4j).

So if consensus is for dependency reduction (per original motivation) then my 
patch achieves that. If consensus is for adding SLF4J then this issue should 
probably be closed and pursued via another issue specific to that purpose.

> Currently OWB requires log4j for logging. This patch provides a means of 
> choosing other loggers. Notably, the patch switches the logging code to using 
> the JDK java util logging. The patch includes comments to show how to 
> maintain log4j use or use it as a model to enable other logging libs.
