<br><font size=2><tt>Hello all,<br>
<br>
SLF4J users have been asking for varags support for a long time. See<br>
http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31 for more details. The<br>
plan is to add varags support in SLF4J version 1.6 to be released later<br>
this year, possibly in October 2009.<br>
<br>
The idea is extremely simple. We would replace methods such as:<br>
<br>
// in current API<br>
public void debug(String msgFormat, Object[] argArray);<br>
<br>
with:<br>
<br>
// proposed API for SLF4J 1.6.0<br>
public void debug(String msgFormat, Object... arg);<br>
<br>
Interestingly enough, the proposed change is perfectly compatible with<br>
existing code. In particular, code compiled against SLF4J 1.5.6 or<br>
earlier will run fine against SLF4J 1.6.0 and vice versa, that is<br>
client code compiled with SLF4J 1.6.0 will run fine with SLF4J 1.5.6<br>
and earlier.<br>
<br>
The only problem is that the varargs notation requires JDK 1.5. Thus,<br>
we are faced with the question of requiring JDK 1.5 instead of JDK<br>
1.3 in SLF4J.<br>
<br>
Do you accept SLF4J dropping JDK 1.3 compatibility and require JDK 1.5<br>
instead? If you respond, please do so on the user@slf4j mailing list.<br>
<br>
This poll is open for 3 months starting from today, March the 26th of<br>
2009.<br>
<br>
Many thanks in advance for your feedback.<br>
