Nonsense.
The JDK 1.4 logging API has not been developped by Sun, but
by the JCP which includes many other corporations like IBM,
which all have experience with logging APIs.
I'm not gonna argue whether the JDK 1.4 logging is better or worse than
LogKit or Log4j. But what I'm saying is that:
1) I'm happy that we finally have a standard logging API included into
the JDK, even if it's not the best one out there.
2) Unless the JDK 1.4 API is completely broken, it will at some point
become the standard and I am going to use it for all my new projects.
BTW: somebody has released, somewhere, the classes of the JDK 1.4
logging api for use with prior JRK releases.
