[logback-user] Apache Sling Commons Log - Integrating Logback with OSGi

[Chetan Mehrotra]

Hi,

As part of Apache Sling project we have created a Sling Commons Log
module which integrates Logback with OSGi.

It might be interesting for Logback and/or slf4j users, see below for more info.

while using Logback in OSGi environments
