Dear Sirs:
Please consider adopting Log4j as the standard logging mechanism for
Java
1.4, instead of the less mature (and less capable) existing
JSR-000047
Logging API Specification.
Log4j is the leading established Java logging mechanism. It has
been
enjoys wide acceptance in both open-source and commercial software
packages. Introduction of a competing logging mechanism would be
likely
to cause a split in the Java community, and thereby weaken the Java
platform overall.
Even if it were to cause a delay in the release of Java 1.4, I would
urge
you to replace the existing JSR-000047 with Log4j.
