Hello,
I have been involved on at least ten projects where logging has
been
necessary. With this much experience logging (both building
logging
libraries and using third party libraries), I can tell you that when
I
discovered log4j, I had never seen anything like it. It is, simply,
the
best logging package I have ever used. Not just the big things, but
the
little details are what make it great. After a thorough review of JSR
47,
I see it falls short on many of these details. In all honesty, if
JSR47
became the logging standard, I would never use it as long as log4j
still
existed in an up-to-date state.
Please have mercy on us developers and heed this appeal!
Sincerely,
Andy DePue
