ksLogger is ‘yet another Java logging package’. 🙂 To be honest, I don’t even know what’s out there. But I do know that ksLogger is small (<10KB jar file) and has a couple of neato features. Let’s go through the features shall we?
Version 1.01 is out. Here are the changes:
There are three new methods for determining the current log level: isWarn(), isInfo(), and isDebug(). Each method returns true if the log level is greater than or equal to the desired level. For example, if the log level is currently set to INFO, then isWarn() and isInfo() will return true, and isDebug() will return false.
It looks to be pretty lightweight and only JDK/JRE >=1.3. Of course the defacto logging standard is Jakarta’s Log4J, but sometimes you’re looking for that lighter weight alternative solution.
