And in java is not that difficult to create adapters:
- for configuration - just use setters and let the embeding application to
configure the component ( instead of using a config service ).
- for logging - use a simple interface/abstract class, and allow the
embeding application to set an implementation
- etc.
In other words - each project can choose how it configure itself and how
it does logging - instead of having each component impose a certain
solution for things that are not part of their core functionality.
