In my developments, I tend to prefer java logging api because my needs 
are very basic and it avoids a dependency, but I know that experimented 
developpers find log4j (or maybe slf4j) better for some reasons...

By the way, it is not the high to the day to change, and I agree that 
system.out.println should be removed from svn code, even if I often use 
it for debugging purpose during early development phases.

Kevin, I think you can feel free to replace system.out.println by 
logging statements. At least this is my opinion. Maybe there are some 
places where it would be even better to remove the system.out.println 
code (in that case, it could be discussed with the original author).
I suppose there is a way to redirect logging outputs to the console if 
one prefer seeing messages in the console during development.

my 2 cents
