Re: [jboss-as7-dev] manual way to do logging?

That's the crux really. I always bitch when I have to add a log message with JBoss logging compared to the good old log4j. But I would not meet the requirements. See it positively, it's annoying enough to add a log or throw an exception that I do it less often and my code is even more efficient :D The other annoying bit is when your log interface is in a common module and you work on a dependent module. This requires full recompilation and I am often bitten by this with method not found exceptions.
