log4j 和 java.util.logging的关系 供参考

The reader familiar with the java.util.logging API introduced in JDK 1.4, will recognize that log4j's architecture is very  similar although log4j offers much more
functionality. Log4j requires JDK 1.1 whereas java.util.logging will only run on JDK 1.4. Most of the concepts outlined in this document are reproduced with lit-tle variation in java.util.logging albeit with somewhat different names. In case you had any doubts regarding log4j’s linea ge, the present log4j architecture dates
back to early 1999, the JDK 1.4 logging API was not even  a proposal at the time。
