2014 Logging Frameworks You Would Like to Work With
In my previous post I have given an overview about Java's logging state as of January 2014 In this post I want to recommend which libraries to use for your java project. Main Logging Frameworks Most notable frameworks in this section include: Java Util Logging , Log4j , Logback , Log4j2 I will go over them one by one: Java Util Logging - This is Java's official logging framework it has been there since 2002 and is mostly copied from log4j which have released their library two years before (2000). no significant updates have been released to the Java logging component and it is mostly abandoned (although it still resides in the rt.jar core java files), the brave developers who had tried using it report a complicated logging framework which needs a good overhaul and the general advice is to stay away from it! Log4j - No need to introduce Log4j which is the most used logging framework, and is with us for over 14 years!, log4j is a very robust framework,
