Description

The WebConsole's internal BaseWebConsolePlugin class plugin provided a simple Logger facade to the LogService or stdout to its extensions. With the migration to using JQuery UI as per FELIX-1988 the BaseWebConsolePlugin will not be used any longer and thus the Logger is not available to the plugins.

For now, most logging goes to the GenericServlet.log() methods.

After FELIX-1988 is done, we should revisit logging:

• AbstractWebConsolePlugin should overwrite the GenericServlet.log() methods to use the simple Logger facade internally
• The Logger API might be provided as official API
• The Logger instance could be made available through the AbstractWebConsolePlugin (which already uses this internally)
