====== Log4Ant ======

<hi #cc9966>~~SP~~~~SP~~</hi> //<color blue>J</color>//Ware/AntXtras Logging for Ant (Log4Ant) is a full bridge to the [[http://slf4j.org|SLF4J]] library which is a simple façade for various logging frameworks like Log4J, Jakarta Commons Logging, and LOGBack. By using Log4Ant components //you can easily capture, transform, and send all Ant messages, AntXtras messages, and standard output and error messages to your real logging and monitoring system.// This means you can capture detailed information about your build, test, and deploy processes for live monitoring.

== Key Features ==
  - 100% SLF4J, 100% Ant.
  - Captures both //direct-to-SLF4J messages and standard Ant messages// (all levels)!
  - Exports any Ant runtime setting using SLF4J’s MDC support. 
  - Automatically organizes Ant messages according to priority (problems, status, diagnostics).
  - Easy configuration of SLF4J options from within Ant script itself.
  - Usable as an Ant execution listener too, so no need to touch existing Ant scripts!
  - Pass through of Ant runtime exceptions linked with warning and error messages.

== Main Objectives ==
  - Get //all// Ant sourced messages into the real logging system.
  - Ensure automatic message cataloging is useful to someone //without access to the Ant script//.
  - Have no direct coupling to a particular logging framework, but work with most popular ones.
  - Accomplish 1, 2, and 3 without forcing users to rewrite existing scripts!
  - Provide a rich //but simple// set of feedback components to replace the standard <echo>.
  - Include support for AntXtras’ locale and template-based messages framework.
  - Maintain the general [[:antxtras:documents:design|AntXtras design guidelines]].
