A lot of OSS projects nowadays support Commons Logging instead of Log4J directly (e.g. Hibernate). So, there's a fat chance you allready have that dependency. For Maverick users who want to use JDK logging or some other mechanism they allready have a dependency on, it could mean one dependency less.

As I see it: Current: log4j.jar Proposal: commons-logging.jar + log4j.jar -- or -- commons-logging.jar + (JDK logging) So as I see it, it's 1 jar (current) vs. 1 or 2 jars (proposal). What am I missing here? -Thomas -----Original Message----- From: Eelco Hillenius [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2004 12:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Mav-user] Use Apache Commons Logging instead of log4j That's what I proposed about a year ago, and I still am for replacing Log4J by Commons Logging. Eelco ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jon Newton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2004 3:56 PM Subject: [Mav-user] Use Apache Commons Logging instead of log4j What is everyone's opinion on changing maverick to use the Apache Commons logging API instead of hardcoding a dependency on log4j. My reason for wanting this would be to cut down on the large number of jar files my project is accumulating.. I'd like to use java.util.logging as much as possible. This would also make maverick even more flexible..
