IMHO: Logging configuration files can be bundled at the level of an application distribution but they should not be bundled in JARs that could be used as library dependencies. I'm not too familiar with the cTAKES distribution, but assuming there is a ZIP distribution with some command line or UI tools - that should have a logging configuration. The actual JARs that do the work, e.g. the UIMA components etc. - they should not have a logging configuration file. You can have test logging configurations in the `src/test/resources` folders though. -- Richard
