like you did with turbine? Where those interfaces/classes are larger, more
complex and harder to maintain than an existing toolkit. Kind of defeats
the whole purpose of having a logging toolkit maintained outside the
project don't you think?

why add complexity to ant when it is not needed? If anything is "stupid"
about this conversation I think that comment would definetly rate high.
People build toolkits to be reused - could you imagine everytime you wanted
use JDOM you had to create a wrapper around it - and make it generic enough
that it fit other similar toolkits. Stupid - yes I would have to agree.
