what do you guys think of creating a kotlin-logging package that depends on log4j2 and has a useful default config?

in my build file i have this lines corresponding to logging:
Copy code
implementation("io.github.microutils:kotlin-logging:2.0.4")
    implementation("org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-core:$log4j2Version")
    implementation("org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-api:$log4j2Version")
    implementation("org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-jul:$log4j2Version")
    implementation("org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-slf4j18-impl:$log4j2Version")
its pretty hard to get right.
i think it would be great to have an opinionated gradle dependency that is sufficient to get decent logging without many pitfalls

ok, but you still need the xml. Maybe an example (in a blogpost or wiki) is enough?

You could do without the xml and configure via Kotlin code. And even offer an Kotlin api that makes configuration easy. But I never got configuration via Kotlin code working.
