Description

Logback provides support for scriptable event evaluation [1] where a script can be used to determine if the given logging event must be logged or not. This proves useful to get precise logs in a concurrent env. For this Logback support

• Janino - Allow writing Java Code and is faster compared to Groovy. Due to LOGBACK-1001 it cannot be used currently
• Groovy

Commons Log bundle can have optional dependency on Groovy classes but that would cause issues as Commons Log starts at level 1 and further for stability of Logging system it would be preferable if it gets its own copy of Groovy (via a fragement).

This feature is mostly to be used for debugging issues
