+1 for JDK1.3 as a minimum for Log4j-1.3. BTW, does SLF4J run under JDK1.2? If so, Log4j wouldn't need to really think about dealing with J2ME. Imagine a jar as large as Log4j being used for J2ME! I think that's what Log4j Mini was for, but that hasn't been updated in ages. If J2ME developers were to code to the SLF4J interfaces, then they could use any implementation. For their code running in a big appserver, they could use Log4j. For their code running in J2ME, they could use either the SLF4j simple logger or some other implementation designed with J2ME in mind. I don't think J2ME should be much of a concern for Log4j other than making sure we implement the SLF4J interfaces (hopefully the api will stabilize at some point in the near future... aren't we glad we didn't vote Log4j-1.2.10 as a stable release? I am!).
