Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Logging facility

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I would guess Orbit is the best place
to host log4j, and Equinox already has a bundle that implements the OSGi
logging service.  I haven't looked into the details, but it seems
with these two bundles available you would just have to write a small piece
of wiring to convert between log4j events and OSGi log events.  Ideally
your application code would just use the OSGi logging service without having
any knowledge that log4j is doing the actual logging under the covers.

Hi,
In Buckminster, we use log4j in a (sort of) brute-force manner. I say 
brute-force because we don't go through any OSGi service. The Corona 
project seems to have a more elaborated approach (see: 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Corona_Logging#Corona_Logging_Configuration).
I'd like Buckminster to do something similar but I don't want to 
introduce a dependency to the Corona project as such.

Let's assume that several projects would like to use log4j through OSGi,
just like Corona does, what would be the best approach to make that 
happen? Would it be to convince someone to include it in the core 
platform, or should a new technology project be started that was 
concentrating on logging only?

Kind Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
