Description

Would be nice not to force a logging framework.
OpenEJB drags log4j into a project which causes issues.

If OpenEJB stuck to "Public" Log4J API, it would be possible to switch logging implementations using SLF4J & Wrappers.

Currently:

There is a HardCoded dependency on: org.apache.log4j.Layout

Caused by org.apache.log4j.Layout
