Ceki Gulcu commented on JSPWIKI-376:
------------------------------------

Hello,

I would like to point out that dependencies on commons-logging can be replaced 
by jcl-over-slf4j which is binary compatible with commons-logging 1.1.1 as well 
as 1.0.4. Such a move would have all logging go through SLF4J instead of SLF4J 
*and* JCL. Moreover, users deploying on Tomcat 5.5.x series would have much 
fewer problems when reloading JSPWiki.

Janne, if I could, I would discourage you from writing a facade for SLF4J which 
is a facade in itself. 

Please ping me on [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list if you need help regarding 
your planned migration. 

HTH,

> 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).
> http://www.slf4j.org
> The license is MIT/X11, so that's fine.
> Opinions?
