> I just tried to figure out, if log4cxx is still alive. You could characterize log4cxx as undead.
The mailing list tends to be low volume because (a) the documentation is good, (b) the code is good and (c) most "How can I do XYZ?" queries have answers identical to their Java log4j equivalent. I wouldn't shy away from log4cxx for the reasons you mention. I would shy away if you're uncomfortable periodically digging in the issue tracker to resolve build-related questions. Or if something in the issue tracker is a must-have feature because, as you've noted, there's not a lot of new feature development. - Rhys
