If logging of BIRT would ever be revisited in a very far future, I would
suggest to switch to UGLI instead of using apache commons logging. This last
advice is from personal experience, I had some severe problems this week
integrating and deploying libraries to an application server because of
class loader problems.

The issues I faced with commons logging are described at
http://www.qos.ch/logging/thinkAgain.jsp
http://www.qos.ch/logging/classloader.jsp

Disadvantage of UGLI is that it's still in alpha state at this time:

Sven,

Thanks for the suggestion. We are currently leaning toward using Java 1.4
logging, because it comes with the SDK. Though it lacks some of the (most)
advanced features that other packages have, the tight integration with the
language means no more class loading problem, and I believe Sun is also
improving its API.

Any comments?

Stanley,

If the solution has no class-loader problems, go for it... I'm currently
having nightmares involving class-loaders. Using commons logging bridged to
JDK 1.4 logging also seems pretty safe for now (qua class loader problems
anyway).

Regards,
Sven
