Subject: Logging API in JAVA

First of all I want to thank you guys for Java.
You have done a very good job in consolidating the API's.

The point why I am writing you, is about the logging API, that will come
with JDK 1.4.

Logging and Tracing is a thing that everyone needs and bringing it up with
JDK1.4 is very late!

So meanwhile a lot of Tracing classes has been written. One of the most
advanced are the ones developed by the Jarkata group within Log4J.

So I would strongly recommend to contact this guys for bringing out
combinded API.

To say that is to late now is ones oppinion.

My opinion is it would be to late after you started a dispute by bringing
out an unconsolidated API!!!

So please keep going on doing that good job!

Thanks!
