I also think that as tool provider that we should not enforce any
logging framework implementation. We should stick to the best api
which at the moment is slf4j. Slf4j can use any other framework out
there as input (api) or output (implementation).

Since we move to a new minor version I think we should switch to slf4j
completely.

I don't care too much what implementation we use in the examples /
unit tests: slf4j-log4j, slf4j-simple, slf4j-jdk14 or logback

Cheers,
Fracnis
