Francis De Brabandere commented on EMPIREDB-77:
-----------------------------------------------

This issue is not so important any more in my eyes, because the xml config was split off.

Do we plainly want to remove the log4j settings in out xml or make that pluggable somehow.

> Our xml configuration system allows log4j configuration. This however makes empire-db dependent on log4j, even if we use commons logging everywhere else. As this log4j xml inside config.xml brings no real added value and most people have their own log4j.xml anyway. I suggest we remove log4j related stuff. We need to focus on being a library and not a framework.
> eg: In my own projects I prefer to use slf4j with logback as implementation. Therefore I can then exclude commons logging and use jcl-over-slf4j instead. So I don't want log4j on the classpath
