Harry Metske commented on JSPWIKI-376:
--------------------------------------
I did some further investigation last week on this, the details can be found at
http://www.computerhok.nl/JSPWiki/Wiki.jsp?page=Slf4j.
To summarize:
- WebSphere version 6.1 and up no longer has a problem with JSPWiki, it
installs out of the box (it appears that the common-logging-api.jar is no
longer in WebSphere's lib directory, which was the root cause of the
classloading problems)
- I don't have a WebLogic at my disposal, so I don't know if the current
version of this still has the problem.
- If we switch to slf4j (which is not quite trivial), and we only ship the
slf4j-simple.jar by default, we have to realize that all non-core plugins
should also be changed so they also use slf4j.
After all I 'm not so sure if switching to slf4j is a good idea. My assumption
is that the vast majority runs on Tomcat, and only a few run on WebLogic.
Switching to slf4j might break more things than it tries to repair.
I have a slf4j-simple based build running om Tomcat now, it passes all tests,
but still a lot of things need to be adjusted (see link above).
How to continue? , opinions please....

>
> SLF4J allows far more flexible logging than log4j, and it would allow us to
> get rid of these dumb log4j compatibility problems that sometimes occur. It
> also plays better with other applications, gives the user more power to
> choose how to log his stuff, and is also pretty cool otherwise. The change
> would be relatively trivial, and would probably be largely invisible to the
> users (since we could continue shipping with necessary log4j jars).

> The license is MIT/X11, so that's fine.
> Opinions?
