This requires me to have access to ch.qos.logback.classic when writing code.  It does not allow me to switch loggers out without changing code.  <div><br></div><div>We are in the process of moving from log4j to logback.  One requirement placed on me is to be able to revert back to log4j if something &quot;goes wrong&quot;.  I was hoping that using SLF4J would give me this ability.  <div>

If log4j-over-slf4j-1.6.1.jar (for third-party logging), logback-classic-0.9.24.jar, and logback-core-0.9.24.jar are in my production classpath, I&#39;m logging using logback.<div><br></div><div>So without changing code, I can switch between logging back ends.<br>
