I haven't used log4j but I have used Logger quite a bit.  Lately on 
software I've been selling, I just write to System.out and append the 
same data to a file if I want a permanent log.  It makes for 
considerably less code since I usually write some System.out messages 
anyway.  I don't miss the features of Logger either so it works fine for me.
