Subject:  [VOTE] Promote "Logging" Proposal to jakarta-commons



This proposal is to move the "logging" package that is currently in
"jakarta-commons-sandbox" into "jakarta-commons" so that Commons package
users may utilize it in their packages.

For those of you who haven't looked at it yet, this contains:
* A very thin Log interface, based on org.apache.log4j.Category
* Optional ability to declare your own integration layer
  (implementation of Log) through system property settings
* Optional simple implementation that writes to System.out.
* Automatic use of Log4J if these classes are present in the
  class path.
* Graceful degredation to swallowing log output silently if
  no specific implementation is specified, *and* Log4J is
  not available.

Votes please?
