Switch logging to SLF4J #109

Closed greenwoodma closed 4 years ago

greenwoodma commented 4 years ago

to make life easier for us as a team (and hopefully other users of gate-core) switch the logging implementation from Log4J to SLF4J. This would currently include using the bridge API to avoid code changed. We would also then only need to provide an implementation as part of the distro and not gate-core itself, which again makes using gate-core as a dependency in other projects easier.

although I thought I'd configured the default console logging properly info messages about plugins being loaded are no longer being displayed. Need to look into that as well as the file logging.

turns out the converted file seems to be referring to a Log4J filter which isn't available at runtime.
