Re: [wildfly-dev] Version notifications at library init

Since 2007 at least [1]. I believe it came from an earlier set of standards which predate my employment with JBoss but that was so long ago that I don't recall for certain. That said, I'm open to revising how we do this as well. The log segregation tools we theoretically have at our disposal are: • Level • Category • NDC • MDC • Source class/method/file/line • Arbitrary filter However, I don't really have any bright ideas as to a *good* way to do this (which is simple and hard for users to break, but also doesn't screw up performance).

We already are way too noisy at boot, IMHO. If someone has a nifty way to write these to the server log but not the console that would be lovely.
