[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-2566) Move logging in tika-core to log4j via slf4j as we do in the rest of Tika

Konstantin Gribov commented on TIKA-2566:
-----------------------------------------

[~tallison@apache.org], why do you prefer log4j (which is implementation first of all) instead of thin facade (slf4j)? Log4j 1.2 and 2.x are good as implementation (like in tika-batch, tika-app, tika-server and tika-eval) but as library dependency seems much less preferable even to commons-logging/jcl (which is both facade and impl in one package) to me. 

Or I misunderstood you and you actually suggest to use log4j2-api? I personally prefer slf4j-api for its stability and wide adoption. Only known major issue with it is JPMS support (because of static binding approach used in 1.7.x) but they are going to fix it in 1.8.x branch without breaking API.
