I wanted to try the simple sl4fj backend as a means to alleviate the
logging configuration files.
Fair enough. A heads up would have been nice though, especially with the
log4j.properties files still around.
Does it meet all of our needs? Dunno, thats kind of the
idea of "try".
If I understand the documentation
(
http://www.slf4j.org/api/org/slf4j/impl/SimpleLogger.html)
correctly it just logs info messages. Personally, I find myself quite
often turning on
debug logging.
My main concern here was the requirement to remember to revert
log4j.properties changes prior to committing.
Is this really such a big issue? What's the harm if someone accidentally
checks in his logging settings?
