Which Java Logging Routines shall you recommend ?

[ThSITC]

I'm currently trying to release the next version of my package
org.netrexx.runtime.compatibility
on www.kenai.com, Project netrexx.

There is one still pending issue there:

Remove the *cyclic* dependency between class RexxFile and class RexxMsg,
which the current
version still does have, as I did implement originally my own logging
mechanisms, using
basically RexxFile.lineout() as documented in the Rexx2Nrx RunTime Docu..

I did now, *after searching via Google  *Java Log* find the quite useful
link:

http://openbook.galileocomputing.de/java7/1507_20_001.html

which, in particular, discusses the two nowadays available major options:

java.util.logging (JUL)

*and*

Logging with Log4j (http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2

As I did support logging in class RexxMsg since the first  release of
Rexx2Nrx, and it's run-time library,
and shall want and need to remain upwards compatible for the supoorted
methods
info, warning, error, abort etc, I still have to come-up with a decision
now whether to
use

java.util.logging (JUL)
    *or*
log4j

I still have to finish reading about log4j, but do want to ask now the
more experienced
Java experts here which way we shall & should prefer for NetRexx
applications!

Thus, I'm asking here for your recommendations, and, preferable,
*decision* on this topic.

Kind regards from Vienna,
Thomas Schneider

  PS: Happy Birthday, of course to Rexx, and thanks to MFC for inventing
all this :-)
