: If I knew you had the day off, I would ask about moving to jdk 1.6! Ryan: I may not know where you live, and i may not know what you look like, but if you insist on goading me like this i will dedicate myself to answering those questions so i can come to your house and hurt you.
: > I feel dirty just thinking about this. : : I'm afraid so, but I'll describe it differently so it does not sound as crazy. No, no ... you missunderstood. It didn't actually sound crazy to me, that's why i felt dirty. here's my question though: if the slf4j guys have such great support for implementing the commons-logging api (jcl-over-slf4j.jar right?) then why do we need to change any code in solr? using your three bullet points: can't we skip #1, and just do #2 and then #3 still applies? : 1. We compile everything against the commons-logging API (JCL) : : 2. We ship the .war file with a JCL implementation that behaves identical to : solr-1.3. Currently the best option is: jcl-over-slf4j.jar + slf4j-jdk14. : : 3. Anyone using the solr.jar could use JCL or SLF4j magic -Hoss
