minimal logj, deps
hi devs
1.3 is in alpha so I take the chance to suggest
rethinking some design decisions.
Some time ago, there was a minimal log4j, basically
Logger, FileAppender etc. Why was this direction
stalled?
log4j has blown up quite a bit, and - while it was
hard with 1.2*, it seems impossible today to build a
mini log4j oneself.
An immediate wish would be to remove necessity to
have joran package (via OptionConverter, LogLog etc).
Moving elsewhere and loosing Chainsaw would hurt ;)
Also, using jdk1.5 MessageFormatter and
StacktraceElements bought us a speedup of
about 5 for fully detailed logs. I don't know about
AS400 and backwards compatibility reqs though...
Regards,
Ricky

Sure.

Admittedly, it's a problem.

Log4j mini does not require joran to build. Maybe you mean something else?

If I am not mistaken, MessageFormatter was introduced in JDK 1.2 (if not
1.1) and StacktraceElements was introduced in JDK 1.4.
