Subject: Adopt log4j as the logging API

To whom it may concern:

  I am writing to ask you to adopt log4j as the logging API shipped with
JDK1.4.  I have successfully, and easily, used the log4j package in several
projects.  Log4j was a Javaworld Editors' Choice Finalist for 2001,
indicating to me that I am not the only satisfied user of log4j.  The
critique, http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/critique.html , written by
log4j's author highlights several advantages of log4j over the current
recommendation.  Although seemingly similar, I am concerned about having to
learn another logging API.  Why reinvent the "logging" wheel when a
comprehensive solution already exists?

  Thank you for your time and consideration of this issue.

Sincerely,
James Prokash
