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

Red Hat would disagree with the current project scope as it is introducing yet another logging API and/or implementation. We can't really understand why this is appropriate for Jakarta EE to consider. If it was a proposal to introduce a CDI event mechanism to bridge into logging providers, that would be something to look at, but a replacement for log4j/slf4j does not make sense to us.

Dear Jakarta EE Specification Committee,

I propose "Jakarta Logging" for the Jakarta EE ecosystem.
You can find the proposal here:

https://projects.eclipse.org/proposals/jakarta-logging

This project seeks to streamline logging practices across the Java community by providing a standardized API. This approach aims to:

- Enhancing security by minimizing dependencies and reducing risks as seen with the Log4shell vulnerability
- Eliminate incompatibilities between logging frameworks
- Remove vendor lock-in by encouraging adoption of the Jakarta Logging API
- Simplify configuration, reducing the need for bridges
- Motivate frameworks to leverage the Jakarta API rather than building their logging solution

The proposal is backed by three members of the Log4j team who have extensive experience working on the framework full-time. We would love to bring our experiences to Jakarta EE and hope others will join us in this effort.

If you are interested in becoming an initial committer or want to contribute in another way, please reach out to me by e-mail and I will happily add you to the proposal.
In addition, if you have any questions, I will gladly address them by e-mail or during a Q&A call.

I am looking forward to your feedback!

Kind regards,
Christian
