Deprecated - what to use instead?

[Bruno Melloni <Br...@akuratus.com>]

One question and one suggestion for the log4j developers:

Suggestion:

When deprecating a class, please mention in the javadocs what the
replacement code is.  Not everyone is a guru at all aspects of log4j,
and some hints and examples would go a long way when we try to upgrade
legacy code to the latest version.

Question:  

org.apache.log4j.spi.RootCategory is now deprecated.  What should I use
instead?  My exact call is: "Hierarchy hierarchy = new Hierarchy(new
RootCategory(Level.DEBUG));)"

Thanks.

RootLogger.  In the Javadoc @deprecation comment for the RootCategory  
class, there is a mention to use RootLogger instead.  However, I  
haven't checked the Javadoc to see how that was rendered.
