Hello Bruce,

Have you checked out the log4j alternatives before you started log5j ?

Have you seen http://logback.qos.ch/ ?
* it's based on java 1.5
* it's designed by the founder of log4j
* it implements the SLF4J API
* hence it supports a format  strng  + arguments
  (although not using the ava.util.Formatter.format() methods.
  see
http://www.slf4j.org/api/org/slf4j/Logger.html#debug(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.Object[])

Also, I do like joda-time, but I don't think a logging-framework should
depend on it.

regards,
Maarten
