[slf4j-dev] Fw: [Bug 173] New: slf4j android: Android throws an IllegalArgumentException when Log Tag length exceeds 23 characters

[Thorsten Möller]

Hi Ceki,

would it be possible to create a new component "slf4j-android" in 
Bugzilla so that future bugs can be scoped appropriately.

Thanks,
Thorsten
