SLFJ Logging

As of 1.7.1, Ehcache uses the slf4j logging facade, so you can plug in your own logging framework. The following information pertains to Ehcache logging. For information about SLF4J in general, refer to the SLF4J website.

With SLF4J, users must choose a concrete logging implementation at deploy time. The options include Maven and the download kit.
