David Lloyd commented on JBLOGGING-95:
--------------------------------------

In the JLS 5.3:

{quote}
At run time, a class or interface is determined not by its name alone, but by a pair: its binary name (§4.2.1) and its defining class loader. Each such class or interface belongs to a single run-time package. The run-time package of a class or interface is determined by the package name and defining class loader of the class or interface.

> The new Log4j 2 project will be released soon. It has major improvements over Log4j and Logback. Currently, JBoss Logging can log to Log4j 2 indirectly by way of SLF4J (if the log4j-slf4j artifact is on the classpath) or the Log4j 1.2 API (if the log4j-1.2-api artifact is on the classpath and when JBLOGGING-94 is fixed). However, performance would be improved if JBoss Logging could log directly to the Log4j 2 API.
> Looks like we just need a new {{Log4j2Logger}} and {{Log4j2LoggerProvider}}. I'll try to submit a pull request in the next few weeks. I'm currently working on other tasks in Log4j 2.
