I'm not quite sure whether we can really compare SLF4J with Log4J where SLF4J is a logging API while Log4J is a logging implementation ( Log4J can be used with SLF4J and most common SLF4J binding as well), instead we should compare SLF4J API with Commons-Logging API. In my POV recent versions of both SLF4J and Commons-Logging are more or less similar. I don't have any objection to use SLF4J but have we consider JUL ?
Please refer required dependencies for each option. - Commons-logging - Need 2 dependencies on runtime as Commons-logging API and implementation ( e.g - SLF4J API, Commons-logging-LOG4J bridge) - SLF4J - Need 3 dependencies on run time as SLF4J API, SLF4J-X binding, X logging framework ( e.g - SLF4J API, SLF4J-LOG4J binding , LOG4J ) - JUL - 0 dependencies just JDK If there is no found limitations I would prefer to use JUL and worth to consider it before make a conclusion. Thanks !
