Here's the deal with logging.

 From a features perspective, there's two major pieces being developed. 
The first is getting JDK logging integrated nicely with the rest of the AS. 
  This feature will be done for 5.1 *no matter what* - this week if I can 
help it - and it will involve a "fixed" JDK logmanager as well as a 
JDK-log4j bridge component.

The second part is reworking logging into a full-featured POJOized service 
with all sorts of new whiz-bang features.  Unless a miracle of time-space 
happens, this will probably happen in 5.2, not 5.1.  From a user 
perspective, this change doesn't really affect anything - it changes the 
"how" more than the "what" - apart from adding some new features, like 
improved per-deployment logging and stdout/stderr handling, better logging 
API support, etc.  This is being discussed currently in this forum thread: 
http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=150678 and in the 
requirements wiki doc here: https://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-13346
