Description

The logging system is broken. There seem to be multiple issues.

1. When starting Studio a message like this is printed:

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.directory.api.ldap.model.schema.parsers.AbstractSchemaParser).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.

In API and ApacheDS bundles we use slf4j. Currently we add slf4j-log4j12 binding and log4j bundles. However there is no log4j.properties configuration.

One approach is to keep log4j add a Fragement-Host for log4j that contains the log4j.properties.

Another approach is to remove log4j and add our own slf4j binding that forwards logs to Eclipse/OSGI log service.

2. When running SWTBot tests lot of server logs are printed ot stdout.
