When I think of the best way to distinguish between bundles, I think of 
creating new logging contexts based on installing/uninstalling bundles. 
Perhaps it's best to create a new OSGi service which creates new logging 
contexts based on bundle ID's or bundle names.

But for this to work I need to be able to create multiple name-based 
contexts within logback.
The following (simplified) architecture would form:
   Logback < SLF4J < Custom Logging Service < CustomBundle

With the above architecture I'd be able to determine which bundle wants 
to log something and would also be able to have a specific configuration 
per bundle. However this will only work if I'm able to create multiple 
contexts, is there a way for me to do this?

I greatly appreciate your replies.
