I understand most of the logic here except for the idea that one should use 1.4 logging if using jdk 1.4. Log4j is a more powerful logging tool, so why not use it in the 1.4 environment as well? Granted, 1.4 logging being embedded in the environment makes it a tempting choice as default. And if log4j cannot provide compelling features to convince developers to use it instead of the 1.4 logging, then yeah, developers should use 1.4 logging. I don't think that is the case, even with 1.4 logging basically ripping off the log4j design/interface. And we are going to continue to innovate at a faster pace than Sun or the JCP. http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?Log4JProjectPages/Log4jv13Featu res for a biased list of new, upcoming features.
