Description

The discussion on SOLR-3358 has many threads, so I will break this out in its own issue.

Currently we use SLF4j to define logging and the war file distributes the the JUL binding. To improve the out-of-the-box logging experience, I think we should switch to log4j. I suggest we:

• keep using SLF4J (especially in solrj)
• replace the JUL log watcher with a log4j version
• this will let us have the admin UI logging stuff work against a single Appender rather then the root loggers
