== Description

A JRuby adaption and gem packaging of the
Logging Facade for Java[http://www.slf4j.org/].
Provides all jar dependencies and a Ruby Logger compatible
facade.

SLF4J is a java logging abstraction and set of adapters to various
concrete logging implementations and legacy logging APIs. The slf4j
gem adds a ruby core Logger compatible facade to SLF4J, and makes any
needed adapters available to JRuby applications. This makes it
possible to unify and control logging output of both java and ruby
components in a JRuby application.

== Features

* The complete set of SLF4J jars with ruby 'require' based selection
of input and output adapters.
* A Ruby core Logger compatible SLF4J::Logger, allowing ruby code to
log through SLF4J.

== Synopsis

require 'slf4j'
require 'slf4j/simple'

log = SLF4J[ "my.app.logger" ]
log.info "Hello World!"
