["Gwyn Evans (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Gwyn Evans commented on WICKET-711:
-----------------------------------

As far as I can see, Wicket builds with slf4j-api and it's up to the user to choose the implemtantion they want at run-time, so *what* dependency on log4j?  File/line details?

Left open (for the moment) in case I'm missing, something.

> Please consider removing Wicket's dependency on log4j. This can be achieved quite easily by replacing slf-log4j*.jar by slf4j-simple*.jar. The application footprint will shrink and all those ClassLoader problems log4j is notorious for will go away: http://www.qos.ch/logging/classloader.jsp
> Finally, I recommend you consider migrating to logback, which is a native implementation of slf4j by the author of log4j: http://logback.qos.ch/
> It's logging performance and output format is above and beyond what log4j provides. Once you try it you'll fall in love with the output format. Just my 2 cents :)
