Consider migrating to slf4j
---------------------------

                 Key: HHH-2696
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2696
             Project: Hibernate3
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 3.2.4
            Reporter: Koda Janh


Please consider migrating away from commons-logging and onto slf4j for the reasons mentioned here: http://www.qos.ch/logging/classloader.jsp

The author of log4j went on to write "logback" which is an implementation of slf4j that has much better performance than log4j and much cleaner output. I recommend you evaluate these alternatives seriously and consider them for future releases of Hibernate.

To ease migration you could use the "log4j bridge" mentioned here: http://logback.qos.ch/bridge.html
You simply replace log4j's jar by the bridge jar and all log4j method calls get redirected to logback under the hood.
