Log4j API is the interface applications code to and will use its built in SimpleLogger implementation if none is provided, but that implementation is too simplistic for the vast majority of users. Log4j Core is the implementation of the API. It is really the only dependency you need to perform logging for a large portion of the Log4j user base. All the other components are add-on functionality that provides enhancements for special use cases. As such, I don't really see anything wrong with its name. Calling it the "implementation core" is misleading as it gives the impression that something else might be required. Log4j Core also cannot act as a provider for SLF4J by itself. It requires for log4j-slf4j-impl or log4j-sfl4j2-impl and log4j-api to do that. I'm inclined to close this as I don't see how it provides any benefit. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
