---------------------------------

             Summary: The name of the SLF4JLogger implementation should point to Log4j 2
                 Key: LOG4J2-564
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-564
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SLF4J Bridge
    Affects Versions: 2.0-rc1
         Environment: All (tried on Ubuntu 12 x64, Windows 7 x64, Mac OS X Maverick)
            Reporter: Mihai Nita
            Priority: Critical


The name of org.slf4j.impl.SLF4JLogger should indicate somehow that we are dealing with Log4j 2.

Right now the class is org.slf4j.impl.SLF4JLogger

These are the names from other bindings:
   nop     : org.slf4j.helpers.NOPLogger
   simple  : org.slf4j.impl.SimpleLogger
   jdk     : org.slf4j.impl.JDK14LoggerAdapter
   jcl     : org.slf4j.impl.JCLLoggerAdapter
   log4j   : org.slf4j.impl.Log4jLoggerAdapter
   logback : ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger

 Every one of them indicates what is the binding for, in the class name (all slf4j bindings), or as part of package name (logback).

Use case: "hook" into the functionality of the logger under slf4j to control stuff not accessible through slf4j.

Example: 
http://code.google.com/p/okapi/source/browse/#git%2Fapplications%2Frainbow%2Fsrc%2Fmain%2Fjava%2Fnet%2Fsf%2Fokapi%2Fapplications%2Frainbow%2Flogger

Code to reproduce this:
=========
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

public class LogHandlerFactory {
    static public void main(String [] args) {
        Logger localLogger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(LogHandlerFactory.class);
        String realLogger = localLogger.getClass().getName();
        System.out.printf("%-8s: %s%n", args.length > 0 ? args[0] : "???", realLogger);
    }
}
=========

Thank you,
Mihai
