Re: [jakarta.ee-spec] Proposal: Jakarta Logging

Hi Christian,
Thanks for writing up the proposal!
As far as the Logging is concerned, there is no lack of logging frameworks and the communities have resistance to the convergence on any of the choices. MicroProfile community discussed whether to standardise Logging. After a lengthy conversation, the consensus was that there were many frameworks already. It is better to use Log4j or SLF4J or JUL. OpenTelemetry has Logs support together with Metrics and Tracing, which even avoided defining yet another logs API by instead using your own logs API. With this, I do not think this is something we should invest nor support.
Thanks,
Emily

Hello everyone,

I have been reading all responses and seeing comments, but I could not see any questions about the proposal.
I also did not see anyone asking for a video Q&A.

I have added:

Otavio Santana
Maximillian Arruda
Raushan Kumar

as initial committers to the proposal.

When there are no questions, and nobody else wants to join as a committer, I will move forward with this proposal on Monday.

Kind regards,
Christian
