Actually, at this point I'm working on Log4j 2.0. The basic part is there, now I'm working on the XML configuration. I've used very little existing code to this point. FWIW, there are no logger hierarchies. That creates a problem that you have in Logback. When you reconfigure there is a window where all the logging configuration is screwed up. First you call reset() which clears everything and then the configuration happens component by component, all while the system is running. In my tests so far I am pretty close to the performance of Logback.
Thank for sharing this information. Writing a logging framework from scratch is no easy task but since you are an excellent developer I'm sure you'll manage to come up with something innovative. -- Ceki
