+  reported by Gili Tzabari. In environments where the TCCL (Thread
+  Context Class Laoder) was not set, logback was unable to located its
+  default configuraiton files. Logback now uses the class loader that
+  loaded logback itself to locate its resources instead of the
+  TCCL. This approach is simpler and deemed to cover more

+  reported by Thorbj&oslash;rn Ravn Andersen. Logback now relies on
+  Geronimo JMS API specifications instead of Sun's JMS API
+  specification, the latter requiring manual installation. With
+  Geronimo JMS, logback can be built using Maven without needing to
