[jira] [Commented] (BEANUTILS-562) remove dependency on commons-logging

["Samael Bate (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-562?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17777303#comment-17777303 ] 

Samael Bate commented on BEANUTILS-562:
---------------------------------------

it's to move away from commons-logging. The immediate need for me is because I use JPMS and old Apche dependencies like commons-logging cause problems. Also there is the fact that commons logging just isn't needed these days. Slf4j won the battle of which logging facade people use years ago, however I'd be equally happy with log4j api as it's at least maintained. Commons logging is just plain dead.

> beanutils currently depends on commons-logging 1.2 which was released 9 years ago and seems to be pretty much redundant.
> {code:java}
> <dependency>
>   <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
>   <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
>   <version>1.2</version>
> </dependency> {code}
> It would make sense for beanutils, and other Apache libraries, to instead just make use of slf4j-api
