Apache log4cxx is licensed under the + {{{http://www.apache.org/licenses}Apache License}}, an open source license certified by the + {{{http://www.opensource.org}Open Source Initiative}}. + + Almost every large application includes its own logging or tracing API. Inserting log + statements into code is a low-tech method for debugging it. It may also be the only way because + debuggers are not always available or applicable. This is usually the case for multithreaded + applications and distributed applications at large. + + Experience indicates that logging is an important component of the development cycle. It offers + several advantages. It provides precise <em>context</em> about a run of the application. Once + inserted into the code, the generation of logging output requires no human intervention. + Moreover, log output can be saved in persistent medium to be studied at a later time. In + addition to its use in the development cycle, a sufficiently rich logging package can also be + viewed as an auditing tool. + + Logging does have its drawbacks. It can slow down an application. If too verbose, it can cause + scrolling blindness. To alleviate these concerns, log4cxx is designed to be reliable, fast and + extensible. Since logging is rarely the main focus of an application, the log4cxx API strives + to be simple to understand and to use. + +Disclaimer + + Apache log4cxx is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), + sponsored by Apache Logging Services. Incubation is required of all newly accepted + projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision + making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While + incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, + it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
