Hi, We have a product that can be also used on embedded systems, but we cannot use log4j on embedded systems. We also developed an api to abstract any implementation of a log system. Behind this api we want to plug log4j and a specific system log we implemented. Therefore I am writing the wrapper for log4j, and I have the following problem: Our wrapper includes an extension of the Category class. Your documentation describes how to use a personnal Category, but I didn't find how to change the type of the root Category. I think the constraint is imposed this declaration in Category class : static public final Hierachy defaultHierachy = new hierachy( new RootCategory(Priority.DEBUG) ) I would like to know if it's possible to remove the "final" in this declaration and if you would considerer this feature be integrated in the future release of your product ?
