Log4J is certainly another option.

Or perhaps the new ASF logging top level project.

I don't think there's any reason to immediately switch anything (emphasis on
immediately). Eventually it might be a good idea. LogKit is stable and
isn't heading to "Florida" for retirement yet, so until we have the
avalon-logging and excalibur-logging situation worked out, I wouldn't be too
hasty. But that's me.
As for configuration of LogKit, here's a code snippet that might help (uses
the exalibur-logging package):
import org.apache.avalon.excalibur.logger.DefaultLoggerManager;
import org.apache.avalon.framework.container.ContainerUtil;
import
org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.DefaultConfigurationBuilder;
import org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.Configuration;
import org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.ConsoleLogger;
import org.apache.avalon.framework.context.DefaultContext;
import org.apache.avalon.framework.service.DefaultServiceManager;
...
DefaultLoggerManager manager = new DefaultLoggerManager();
DefaultConfigurationBuilder builder = new DefaultConfigurationBuilder();
Configuration c = builder.buildFromFile("conf/logkit.xconf");
ContainerUtil.enableLogging(manager,
new ConsoleLogger(ConsoleLogger.LEVEL_DEBUG));
ContainerUtil.contextualize(manager,new DefaultContext());
ContainerUtil.service(manager,new DefaultServiceManager());
ContainerUtil.configure(manager, c);
ContainerUtil.initialize(manager);
ContainerUtil.start(manager);
Logger log = manager.getDefaultLogger();
You can then configure the LogKit using the standard logkit configuration
file, like this:
<logkit logger="system.logkit" log-level="DEBUG"
manager-class="org.apache.avalon.excalibur.logger.LogKitLoggerManager">
<factories>
<factory type="file"
class="org.apache.avalon.excalibur.logger.factory.FileTargetFactory"/>
</factories>
<targets>
<file id="logFile">
<filename>my_log.log</filename>
<append>true</append>
</file>
</targets>
<categories>
<category name="" log-level="DEBUG">
<log-target id-ref="logFile"/>
</category>
</categories>
</logkit>
