Essentially all id did was read in an xml configuration file, build a met=

representation of configuration, validate the configuration and then crea=

set of Loggers for specified metadata. It was kind of like an enhanced=20
Excalibur-Logger that could target multiple output Loggers (ie could=20
configure JDK Logging or LogKit depending on provider) and it was much=20
"safer" (ie xml schemas would be used to validate configuration and the=20
metadata validated the inter-logger setup etc.

However it is not finished so not so useful.
