Every time this topic comes up, I have to remind people that logging in parallel
execution environments is extremely complex & not for the faint of heart.

At IBM we use a custom Antlib to build the WebSphere family of products. One of
the tasks in that antlib handles parallel build dispatch for our many components
based on registered dependencies (of which we have defined our own metadata 
format).

Strangely enough the most complicated part of getting the parallel dispatch to
work was not the actual dispatch, but rather getting the logs to make any sense.
We found that the standard Ant loggers just aren't up to the task for massively
parallel builds. This is no reflection on Ant: it wasn't designed to handle this
kind of environment.

We ended up writing our own custom logger that uses stacks & thread locals to
present the logging information in a format that is understandable by a human.
you may need to do something similar if you are highly parallel.
