The fact is, Log4J, SLF4J and Logback were all done at least partly by Ceki
Gülcü[?]
I haven't met him personally as I remember we were speaking at different
days on events like DevoXX, but I've been in touch with him since
investigating a unified logging strategy for several large telcos over the
last couple of years, most recently about a year ago in India.
He's based in Switzerland, but I am not sure, if he is JCP Member or
interested in this kind of thing.
If you could get his support or participation in a Logging JSR, this sounds
like a great idea, to get things right.
While it almost replicated some JavaEE aspects like JSF Bean Converters
(without JSF Context) and has a "light" version of JSR-310 somewhat similar
to the Fantom language (which as mentioned also offers modularity) JavaFX
currently has no Logging functionality other than most likely using JDK
Logging internally. A neutral and improved Logging JSR could therefore
benefit not only EE and App Servers, but also Rich Clients in JavaFX and
Mobile Solutions, if Java ever gains enough momentum there again...?[?]
