Hello,
I have changed BrailleBlaster to use slf4j and logback for logging.
The main advantages this has given us is that configuration of the
logger is now done in an XML file rather than code, thus a user can
customise how logging is done and slf4j allows changing to other logger
back ends should you not like logback. or if something better comes along.
Logback is also meant to be far faster than log4j and the
java.util.logging packages.
This change though means you will need some additional jar files in
dist/lib. At the time of writing this email you will need:
* slf4j-api-1.7.7.jar
* logback-core-1.1.2.jar
* logback-classic-1.1.2.jar
The websites for slf4j and logback are http://www.slf4j.org and
http://logback.qos.ch/ respectively.
I have requested that the appropriate jar files are linked to from the
BrailleBlaster website.
This change has also been noted in the build.txt file.
