[hibernate-dev] Tests asserting warnings get logged

[Sanne Grinovero]

I had the same thoughts recently!

My idea would be to have a Logger implementation which logs into an
in-memory buffer, which you can lookup somehow. For my own test needs,
even a static accessor would do. It could be a simple text
representation, or it could store a smarter event-list with some
assertion helper methods. A reset() method to be invoked at the end of
each test (or between tests as needed).

I'd then remove Log4J from our test dependencies to primarily rely on
assertions only; or for debugging purposes to have it forwards
messages to System.out too - probably enabled by some environment
option - would be good enough.
