= How do I use Java 1.4 logging?

Camel uses http://www.slf4j.org/[sfl4j] which allows you to configure
logging via, among others:

* http://logging.apache.org/log4j/[Log4j]
* http://logback.qos.ch/[Logback]
* https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/logging/package-summary.html[JDK Util Logging logging]

The quick way to enable Java 1.4 logging is to create a
`commons-logging.properties` file on the classpath with this entry...

[source,java]
----
org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Jdk14Logger
#org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger
----

Many thanks to Glen Mazza for figuring this out :smile:
