Cool, that helps! Sorry about the previous message, I think in my
rage I probably skipped the most important details :)
Does anyone know any project that has some flexible formatters a la
log4j for java.logging? SimpleFormatter and that XML formatter are way
too verbose (having the 2 lines per log statement was what drove me
insane in the first place).

I don't see anything on that page that implies log4j is recommended over
any other mechanism.

Read the page again; it's discussed thoroughly in the second half.

JULI is an implementation of the commons-logging APIs that is hard-coded
for java.util.logging.
> Is it a replacement for log4j?
Kind of, but really log4j is a replacement for java.util.logging, and
commons-logging is a generalized mechanism that allows use of either
underneath. JULI merges commons-logging and java.util.logging into one
layer largely to reduce overhead. It also extends the capabilities of
java.util.logging to increase flexibility.

It all depends on what your definition of "better" is. Since JULI is
based on java.util.logging, you can create whatever handlers and
formatters you want and plug them in. If you're already familiar with
log4j, then perhaps you want to use that instead.
