Pax Logging essentially tries to provide the Commons Logging API (and slf4j, 
log4j, jdk logging and other APIs) for bundles to use without modification, 
whilst using Log4J driving the logging implementation.

Pax Logging also tries to provide the logging APIs in a manner that allows the 
Pax Logging Service to be reloaded (bug fixes for instance) on the fly 
without stopping all the bundles. Each API is in its own bundle (which might 
be overkill).

Pax Logging also uses the Config Admin Service to receive the Log4J 
configuration. Pax Logging is not yet OSGi Logging compliant, but that is a 
goal.
