One main design principle of JCS always was to have as few external dependencies as possible. In fact, JCS 3.0 core only depends on JDK.
Therefore, JUL was chosen as a logging framework. Log4j2 is an option. You may easily roll your own logging system, such as SLF4j. The wrapper was created to provide this versatility.
