[logback-user] Using Logback on JDK1.4 possible?

[f_du_preez at limehouse.co.za]

Hi

Does anybody know if it is it possible to use Logback on JDK1.4? I get an
UnsupportedClassVersionError when trying to instantiate a Logback logger
through SLF4J.

I've had a look at pom.xml and see that the jdkLevel is set to 1.5. So the
exception makes sense - I'm trying to run 1.5 code against a 1.4 jdk... That
said I find it strange the Logback only supports jdk1.5 and higher. Anybody
running it against a 1.4 jdk? If so, how did you manage to do it?

Thanks.

To be complete:

The code that I'm using is very simple:

 Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(InitLog.class);	    
 log.debug(">>> Logging Initialized");

The exception I'm getting:
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/slf4j/LoggerFactory (Unsupported
major.minor version 49.0)
