Sebb commented on DISCOVERY-15:
-------------------------------
According to the SVN history, these classes were added because:
"Added logging support. Copied 2 files from commons-logging (Log & LogFactory)
to prevent circular dependencies during build. Support for a bootstrap
mechanism
to allow the default (VERY simple logging) to be replaced with app/system
loggers."
Not entirely sure where the circular dependency comes from, unless commons
logging once depended on discovery?
> implementing a commons-logging wrapper is an overkill

> org.apache.commons.discovery.log is a commons-logging implementation wrapper,

> It should be enough just using commons-logging in the 'traditional' way :P
