Framework Method 1
Method 2 Method 3 SLF4J LoggerFactory.getLogger XLoggerFactory.getXLogger Log4j 1.x LogManager.getLogger Logger.getLogger Category.getLogger Log4j 2 LogManager.getLogger Commons Logging LogFactory.getLog java.util.logging LogManager.getLogger In addition to what I said below I'm thinking that when I made the choice I also took into account what Log4j 1.x was already doing (minus allowing factory methods in non-factory classes). I guess Scott's point is that since they are the same the work to port is reduced. So I guess my opinion is to leave it as it is.
