Apache Sling SLF4J Implementation


=======================================
Welcome to Sling - SLF4J Implementation
=======================================

The "log" project implements the SLF4J SPI and thus operates as the backend
for the SLF4J API. The SLF4j API bundle must be installed along with this
bundle to provide full SLF4J logging support.
  
The Logging bundle should be installed as one of the first modules in
the OSGi framework and - provided the framework supports start levels -
be set to start at start level 1. This ensures the Logging bundle is
loaded as early as possible thus providing services to the framework
and preparing logging.

See the Apache Sling web site (http://sling.apache.org) for
documentation and other information. You are welcome to join the
Sling mailing lists (http://sling.apache.org/site/project-information.html)
to discuss this component and to use the Sling issue tracker
(http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING) to report issues or request
new features.

Apache Sling is a project of the Apache Software Foundation
