The most popular logging engine is log4J, which is another option you can use.

log4j will give you more power.

But the default logger available with Java is sufficient if you are just starting off.

There are a whole lot of logging frameworks out there. Log4j is one of the most popular ones. I prefer the "successor" of log4j: slf4j with the logback implementation. Slf4j separates the api from the actual implementation and can be used in conjunction with log4j. Log4j, slf4j and logback are all made by Ceki Gülcü.
