I did a little digging around the Apache Commons Logging interface and source code. As far as I can tell, the LogInterface itself is safe to use on J2ME and does not use any classes that are specific to J2SE. However the default LogFactory implementation uses reflection and from what I have read, those classes are not available in J2ME.
So I'd suggest using the Commons API within Muse because 1) it is JSR-47 compliant 2) its pretty much a standard API 3) it provides the abstraction we are looking for 4) It will work fine on J2ME We will have to write a LogFactory implementation that will not use reflection and introduce our own discovery mechanism. My suggestion is to just rely on a system property for determining which kind of Log instances must be produced for a particular platform -one that delegates to the Equinox logger or one to the J2SE logger. I am working on creating a basic LogFactory implementation that will work in a J2ME setup. I will post what I find as soon as I am done with it.
