The Jakarta Commons Logging isn't really a logging framework, but a logging framework wrapper. As such, it requires a logging framework underneath it. It would be useful in an heterogeneous environment where the logging framework is likely to change. However, in most cases, once a suitable logging framework has been chosen, there is little need to change it over the life of the project.

The Java Logging API is also not a logging framework, but standard API for accessing a logging framework. Compatible frameworks can be loaded JVM and accessed via the API. There is also ana logging implementation supplied with the Sun JVM which is the default logging framework access by the API. Many developers confuse this implementation with the Java Logging API.
