[slf4j-user] Tailoring what logs

[Ceki Gulcu]

Hello Russel,

SLF4J is essentially an API without an implementation, notwithstanding 
slf4j-simple or slf4j-nop. You need an actual implementation underneath, for 
example jul, log4j or logback.

You can continue to use log4j's PropertyConfigurator if log4j is your underlying 
implementation.

HTH,
