Hi all,
My question is regarding the feature list for the future Log4J
releases, specifically 1.3.
I couldn’t find any information on the log4J website, indicating
the use (implementation) of SLF4J interfaces in Log4J.
Is SLF4J ever going to be part of Log4J ?, cause if I remember
correctly, there was a discussion about implementing those
interfaces directly in Log4J, so the user applications can code
against the SLF4J loggers as supposed to any native (concrete)
implementation, like the case in Commons-Logging. Since I
couldn’t keep up with the final decision on that issue, I would
really appreciate any information regarding it.
SLF4J should be, but isn't, mentioned on the roadmap (http://
logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/plan.html) for 1.3.
When it was UGLI, it might have been considered part of log4j.
However as SLF4J, it could only be "implemented by" log4j, not part
of log4j. But I assume that is what you meant.
The current CVS HEAD can be build with or without a direct
implementation of the SLF4J interfaces, see http://issues.apache.org/
bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34883). However as with everything else new
in the CVS HEAD, it is subject to review and voting as we push toward
a 1.3. release. I don't believe there has been an explicit vote
involving SLF4J in the 1.3.x line (there was a vote involving the
1.2.x line). I think that the log4j committers desire to have log4j
1.3 to be the best choice for an SLF4J-compatible logging framework,
but exactly how that is to be accomplished is still an open question.
