[xwiki-devs] [vote] Logging format

Hi devs, I'd like to apply http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2667 , but one thing I'd like to change is the format of the log messages. The current patch uses String.format, but I prefer MessageFormat, as it is more expressive, and it is already used by the localization tool. So: 1. We use String.format, because: - it is "simpler" (some say) - it is familiar to C/C++ programmers - it is a bit more customizable at the finer level - the code is already written 2. We use MessageFormat, because: - it is already used for localization strings - it is more expressive (I really like the "choice" format) - it is apparently less customizable, but it uses good defaults (I'd rather specify that I want a "long" date format than a "DD MMMM HH:mm:ss z" format) - the changes are minimal - I for one prefer this syntax, rather than the old printf one. My +1 for option 2. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
