Simple Logging Facade for Java: A much interesting approach for a logging system. This tool provides an abstracting layer of logging that allows to choose which logging system should be used on deployment time.

Thus, the developers write the logging information code in a kind of generic way which is "independent" from the real logging library used underneath.

As many of the Apache projects are using this tool, it looks like a very interesting option to start thinking about it.

This post is a simple annotation about this tool. Here there are some references about the use of this tool:
