Hi,

As have many others already suggested,
I think the LOG4J logging API has far more to offer than
the newly proposed logging api included in the upcoming JDK1.4 release,
(JSR 47 specification).

It is only since a couple of weeks I started using log4j and already has
it made our project much more stable and clearer.

One of the main goals is software-reuse, why not simply use what is out
there, since a couple of years, tested against various factors: such as
performance, extensibility, .... .
Not that it is perfect yet but I believe superior than what has been
proposed through JSR 47.

In my opinion one should choose second to NONE, consider adopting the
LOG4J standard rather than choosing the best to ONE.

Having the JSR47 included and afterwards changed and extended to another or
not use the JSR47 at all will be inevitable in the future, I think.
