Hi FYI I rebased both branches on current master : * https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=maven.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/slf4j-log4j2 * https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=maven.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/slf4j-logback With all work done by Herve both branches have only one interesting commit to update few deps.
If you want to test them I shared some archives : * https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/501043/apache-maven-3.2-SNAPSHOT-log4j2-bin.tar.gz * https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/501043/apache-maven-3.2-SNAPSHOT-log4j2-bin.zip * https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/501043/apache-maven-3.2-SNAPSHOT-logback-bin.tar.gz * https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/501043/apache-maven-3.2-SNAPSHOT-logback-bin.zip (You just have to replace the non-color config file in conf/logging by the -color one) LOG4J2 has 2 issues : ** It requires Java 6 (while our core is always requiring Java 5 for now) ** beta 7 and beta 8 aren't supporting some methods we used in our integration : [WARNING] setRootLoggerLevel: operation not supported [WARNING] reset(): operation not supported Cheers ----- Arnaud Héritier http://aheritier.net Mail/GTalk: aheritier AT gmail DOT com Twitter/Skype : aheritier
