[ovirt-devel] Question/thoughts about our engine logging framework

[Yair Zaslavsky]

Hi all,
During my recent work on AAA, I was suggested by Juan Hernandez  to use slf4j logging framework which serves as a facade for other logging frameworks (including java utils logging which is now used by jboss), log4j and others.
I have accepted Juan's offer, and then when looking at our LogFactory class I have noticed we use commons logging.

Several thoughts/questions -
A. Why continue use our own wrapper as slf4j is already a facade.
b. I think we should move cross java code to slf4j. What do you think on this point?
