Logging in Ant

Has anyone here had a look at IBM's java logging toolkit (JLog)?  It
looks pretty good.  Using it in ant seems like an easy way of
increasing the logging functionality.  One example of the function is
that GUI tools could then attach Handlers to the ant log and display
the log in a TextArea.

Can anyone see a reason not to use it?

The license is the same as BSF.  I'm not a lawyer, but it looks like
it's free.

It would make Ant depend on it.

Currently all you need is JDK 1.1 and a JAXP compliant XML parser
(with the reference implementation being shipped with the binary
releases).

The script task went into "optional" because Ant shouldn't depend on
BSF.

Apart from the added dependency this might be an issue, but IANAL
either.
