Description

The log implementation currently contains a web console plugin which uses a dynamic package import. Once the log impl is wired to a bundle providing the servlet api and that bundle is updated/removed, it causes the log implementation to refresh, which usually means a complete restart of the system (as every bunde uses logging).
We should reduce this coupling and remove any dependency to the servlet api from the logging implementation
