Samael Bate commented on BEANUTILS-562:
---------------------------------------
I've opened another PR for replacing commons-logging with log4j-api:
[https://github.com/apache/commons-beanutils/pull/181]
The main thing is to get away from having dependencies that rely on
commons-logging. As far as I'm aware slf4j-api is the most commonly used
logging facade in the Java ecosystem but either is fine. commons-logging just
isn't needed anymore and should be weeded out from all Apache libraries if it's
not going to be updated.

> Project: Commons BeanUtils
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Samael Bate
> Priority: Major
>
> beanutils currently depends on commons-logging 1.2 which was released 9 years
> ago and seems to be pretty much redundant.
> {code:java}
> <dependency>
> <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
> <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
> <version>1.2</version>
> </dependency> {code}
> It would make sense for beanutils, and other Apache libraries, to instead
> just make use of slf4j-api
