Logic for selecting a provider is too fragile
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBLOGGING-57
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBLOGGING-57
             Project: JBoss Logging
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0.Beta4-jboss-logging
            Reporter: Dan Allen
            Assignee: David Lloyd
             Fix For: 3.0.0.Beta5-jboss-logging


The logic used to select the logging provider is too fragile. It should never throw an exception while selecting a provider, because JDK logging is guaranteed to be available and should be the fallback choice. When JBoss Logging fails to select a provider, it causes deployment to fail, which violates my rule #1 of a logging framework (don't fail a build because of a failure to setup logging).

The fragile logic is the reason we get JBLOGGING-47.
