Hi Maarten,
I did look at logback and slf4j right at the beginning. I just felt
that that entire eco-system was getting lost in abstractions piled upon
frameworks, etc.
My feeling that is that logging libraries should be simple and
lightweight, as it really isn't a very complex task.
In the end I wrote the project because the task just interested me anyway.
I understand what you're saying about arbitrary dependencies... But
performance should be a consideration in a logging framework, and
there's no contest there between joda and the standard api, IMHO.
