Many thanks. It's always a pleasure to hear good things about one's work.

Except for bug#23 (see [1]) which is usually not blocking, the 
jcl104-over-slf4j bridge is known to work well for some time now. The 
logback-log4j-bridge is much more recent and works surprisingly well thus 
far. We currently use it in all our legacy systems in production.

Although we have not attempted to do so, bridging the jul API should be 
possible. After all, x4juli does it. Would you mind creating a bug report 
so that we implement this feature for the next release of logback?
