Joachim Durchholz commented on SLF4J-192:
-----------------------------------------

@Ralph Your assumptions about me are mostly wrong, which is the usual risk when arguing ad hominem in the Internet.

"Silly and arbitrary" - well, you're not giving any arguments beyond that value judgement, so I find it difficult to clear up any misunderstandings on your and my side. I find your post generally pretty vague - lots of belittling, very little arguments. You may have valid reasons to reject my points, but I don't see any arguments that I can respond to, so continuing at that level is pointless and I'll stop.

But I will continue to call shenanigans at purely abstract arguments, unless it's clear that and in what way the abstractions apply.

> There needs to be a way to shutdown logging and flush async appenders so when a process is closing, all log events are written before the process is closed.
> Should ILoggerFactory have a shutdown or stop method?  It could shutdown whatever logging back end I'm using?
> For log4j it would call - org.apache.log4j.LogManager.getLoggerRepository().shutdown();
> For logback it would call - loggerContext.stop()
> Other back ends - ???
> This is required to allow me to not reference logging back ends explicitly in my code to shutdown successfully without losing events.
> Discussion about this is happening on the user list at -
