["Henri Yandell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-128?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Henri Yandell closed CLI-128.
-----------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

None of the three separate branches of CLI (1.x, 2.x and avalon) have logging in their project.xml or pom.xmls.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.0

> A search of the code in commons-cli 1.0 shows that CLI (rightly) doesn't do any logging, but just raises exceptions when things go wrong. However, the pom.xml states that commons-logging is a dependency, which isn't true. Instead of making users manually exclude commons-logging, it should be removed from the pom.xml. 
> I hope that future versions will continue to be free from logging, as it's completely unnecessary for such a simple and elegant library. There's just no reason that a simple argument parser should ever need to log its status, except perhaps while fixing a bug--but those statements would be unlikely to be useful again and are better removed.
