I see logging as being something selective, something you sometimes enable but most of the time is disabled. So, what I wanted to avoid having files called 'log4j.xml' all over the place. Imagine the sort of problems that appear if you relied on a module that already defines a log4j.xml (i.e. infinispan core tests - not that) and you had another 'log4j.xml' in the classpath, which one would be resolved automatically? Which one will log4j choose? You have no idea and based on past experience, it's a royal PITA figuring out why your log4j.xml changes are not having an effect. It's because of problems like this that I'd prefer names like 'log4j-lucene.xml' or something like that, and you selectively enable when you need it via a profile...etc. -- Galder Zamarreño Sr. Software Engineer Infinispan, JBoss Cache
