[slf4j-user] JUL to SLF4J

This is easy for smart clients where just the system classloader is loading all necessary classes. In Java EE environments you would have to put the JUL classes which do the redirect, SLF4J api and SLF4J implementation and the needed logging backend (like log4j or logback) on the system classpath.
This is possible in some Java EE environments but not very nice...

Have a look at www.x4juli.org it does implement SLF4J, JCL (naturally JUL) natively and has a System.out / System.err redirect capability.
The sample WAR in x4juli is corrupt, I had no time to fix it.
