/**
 * Modified LogFactory: removed all discovery, hardcode a specific implementation
 * If you like a different logging implementation - use either the discovery-based
 * commons-logging, or better - another implementation hardcoded to your favourite
 * logging impl.
 *
 * Why ? Each application and deployment can choose a logging implementation -
 * that involves configuration, installing the logger jar and optional plugins, etc.
 * As part of this process - they can as well install the commons-logging implementation
 * that corresponds to their logger of choice. This completely avoids any discovery
 * problem, while still allowing the user to switch.
 *
 * Note that this implementation is not just a wrapper around JDK logging ( like
 * the original commons-logging impl ). It adds 2 features - a simpler configuration
 * ( which is in fact a subset of log4j.properties ) and a formatter that is
 * less ugly.
 *
 * The removal of 'abstract' preserves binary backward compatibility. It is possible
 * to preserve the abstract - and introduce another ( hardcoded ) factory - but I
 * see no benefit.
 *
 * Since this class is not intended to be extended - and provides
 * no plugin for other LogFactory implementation - all protected methods are removed.
 * This can be changed - but again, there is little value in keeping dead code.
 * Just take a quick look at the removed code ( and it's complexity)
 *

 * Original comment:
 * <p>Factory for creating {@link Log} instances, with discovery and
 * configuration features similar to that employed by standard Java APIs
 * such as JAXP.</p>
 *
 * <p><strong>IMPLEMENTATION NOTE</strong> - This implementation is heavily
 * based on the SAXParserFactory and DocumentBuilderFactory implementations
 * (corresponding to the JAXP pluggability APIs) found in Apache Xerces.</p>
