Jason,
No, the levels will remain essentially the same. Priority.OFF and Priority.ON
were added sometime ago. They are pretty harmless. I was thinking of adding
the FINE level as a synonym for DEBUG. (JSR47 does not have a DEBUG level but
a choice of FINE, FINER and FINEST.)
The reason for choosing the term Priority because it was familiar to Syslog
users. Syslog uses the term "facility" to identify the origin of the log
message. However, I was not aware that syslog used the term "level". Does it?
Cheers, Ceki
