[izpack-devel] Starting a discussion about logging

[Ryan Shillington]

I propose Apache's common's logging.  It's a logging API that lets you
choose which logging implementation you want to use.  From
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/guide.html#Configuration, the
order that it looks for a log implementation (in order of priority):
 1. Reading the class name from a properties file/System property.
 2. If it can find the classes for Log4J, then it'll use that.
 3. If it can find the classes for Java 1.4+ logging it'll use that.
 4. They include a super simple logger to fall back on if everything
fails.

Its purpose is really to solve our problem - ie. when you have no idea
what type of logging the user is going to want to use.

Unfortunately IzPack 3.7.2 was the last version which supports VMs
prior version 1.4. Since 3.8 there is code in it which is not conform
to 1.3 and earlier (e.g. Boolean.valueOf). We have had a discussion
in Septemper 2005 about it.
