Geoffrey De Smet resolved JBRULES-257.
--------------------------------------

         Assignee: Geoffrey De Smet  (was: Mark Proctor)
    Fix Version/s: 5.5.0.Beta1
                       (was: FUTURE)
       Resolution: Partially Completed


We went for slf4j for now (jboss-logging has shading issues, most frameworks use slf4j and slf4j has really good logging bridges and maven poms).

To log to java.util.logging, just add a dependency on slf4j-jdk14 and you're done. To log to commons-logging, add slf4j-jcl. To log to log4j, add slf4j-log4j12. Etcetera.

Anyway, now that's we got rid of the System.out's and System.err's, it should be doable to bridge that from the slf4j-api's to jboss-logging too.

> As we are java 1.4 and up, we can use java.util.logging package to look audit messages.
> This means people can use the normal way to configure any sort of logging they dream of, including viewers, bridges to other logging systems, files, database and so on. 
> I think logging in JDK is the best choice, even though log4j is better, it would be best not to add any dependencies to core other then JRE itself.
