Hi Joris,
please see
http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31
as well as
http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70
for a discussion on the subject.
Changing the method signatures as you suggested would make the API
incompatible to previous versions so this can't be done.
Beside that, I personally dislike the idea of writing the exception
argument before the message because, semantically, I want to log a
message and the exception is merely context and therefore at the end.
Regards, Joern.

Hi guys,
(I sent this message to the dev-list, but I guess that was the wrong
place ;)
I just migrated to slf4j, and that worked pretty good..
I have some suggestions (ofcouse:))
A Java5 version which supports varargs. I know that the method sigs
support Object[], but varargs add some sugar.
Currently it is impossible to log an exception and parameterized args.
I suggest the following signatures:
info(Marker, Throwable, String message)
info(Throwable, String message)
info(Marker, String message)
info(Marker, Throwable, String message, Object[] args)
info(Throwable, String message, Object[] args)
info(Marker, String message, Object[] args)
Object[] args can (and should also) be various helpers like it is
now (1 and 2 Object args)
The idea is to have the message and it's args as the last arguments.
The problem with the current signatures is that Throwable comes
after the message and therefore making the args parameter ambiguous.
