As you saw using commons-logging is not just another logging framework, but would allow to use basically any framework you would like. Actually I see the argument made in the last paragraph very much in favor of using it in Solr. Solr is intended to be used with other applications, which will very likely use different logging frameworks. Using commons-logging will make Solr easier to integrate with other applications and webcontainers. As I see it java.util.logging is configured through a properties file in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib. Which not all that nice, other logging frameworks are more flexible to configure and use. The added dependency is just one jar (apache project too), which is not a to high price to pay for the benefits pointed out before. -- Maximilian Hütter blue elephant systems GmbH Wollgrasweg 49 D-70599 Stuttgart Tel : (+49) 0711 - 45 10 17 578 Fax : (+49) 0711 - 45 10 17 573 e-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sitz : Stuttgart, Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 24106 Geschäftsführer: Joachim Hörnle, Thomas Gentsch, Holger Dietrich
