An alternative is to use the 'no discovery, no plugins, no layers' implementation of commons-logging that we have in sandbox :-) - which just implements the commons-logging APIs hardcoding everything to java.util.logging. People who want log4j or another logger can replace the jar with the 'official' discovery-based implementation if they need it.
There are a lot of benefits of having a logger with discovery and a mini-logger if no real logger is found, but for tomcat we know java.util will be found, and it avoids a lot of problems to just use the hardcoded one.
