I thought an example would be useful :)

So, I've create a branch in jakarta/commons/logging called DON_QUIXOTE and added
some example code into their. This lifts off a superclass called LogManager (for
no very good reason) from LogFactory. The most common user method (getLog) is
rewired so that it first calls the superclass. When LogFactory is in the same
classloader (ideally in the same jar) as LogManager, the call will be routed
through LogFactory. This preserves backwards compatibility.

This is the way that Richard and I saw JCL2 proceeding.

An option which you may want to consider is compile-time statically binding an
alternative LogManager implementation to UGLI. This (I believe) would in line
with the spirit of the UGLI way whilst also ensure no actual core dependencies
either way.

If anyone feels this sounds like a reasonable approach and would like to take a
look at creating some experimental implementation code along those lines, I'd be
glad to review it for possible inclusion in the branch. 

I'm don't intend to particularly push this solution (UGLI is the responsibility
of others) but I think it's important that all possible solutions are considered.

Robert
