Mark Miller commented on SOLR-3706:
-----------------------------------

I'd prefer a solution closer to what we are discussing.

There are also other things to look at I think:

*existing log ant targets - are they now broken?
*existing pre logging setup in jetty.xml and stuff in the README
*an example log4j conf file rather than the java util one
*consider switching our tests to it so that devs actually deal with what users will see

I think that Jan is on the right track for how we should tackle the switch.

> Currently we default to java util logging and it's terrible in my opinion.
> *It's simple built in logger is a 2 line logger.
> *You have to jump through hoops to use your own custom formatter with jetty - either putting your class in the start.jar or other pain in the butt solutions.
> *It can't roll files by date out of the box.
> I'm sure there are more issues, but those are the ones annoying me now. We should switch to log4j - it's much nicer and it's easy to get a nice single line format and roll by date, etc.
> If someone wants to use JUL they still can - but at least users could start with something decent.
