The newer logging API which has been included in the JRE since 1.4, incorporates many of the same concepts as log4j. It has loggers and appenders. However, log4j has been much more broadly used and there are mnay out-of-the-box solutions in log4j that are lacking in the Java Logging API.

The Jakarata Commons Logging isn't really a logging framework, but a logging fraemworkframework 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.
