log4j is already on the Kindle at /opt/amazon/ebook/sdk/lib/log4j-1.2.16.jar and it works well when configured properly when writing to the allowed locations (/mnt/us/developer/kindlet_name/work/*).

I'm using this trivial peace of code in JBPatch. You could of course create something more prowerful, with logging levels etc. - but it will still be MUCH less complicated than using a full-blown logging framework like log4j. |
Why not using a standard solution instead of writing an inferior version yourself? Logging seems trivial but you quickly get into difficult waters. Log levels seem easy enough but what about rotating log files or multiple log files (I usually configure log4j to output errors also into a separate file)?
