It wouldn’t be a disappointment when we see you trying hard. Generally, we are looking for motivated students willing to give their best ;-)

It makes sense to start reading the articles linked in the bug mentioned to get a basic understanding of the problems we face at Eclipse. Then you could run a few experiments using SLF4J, Logback and, say, Log4J that make use of „SLF4J’s bridging APIs“. If you get this working before writing your project proposal, you where probably trying hard enough ;-)

Best,
Marcel
