what is the correct way of getting an instance of gradle's slf4j logger wrapper in a plugin?

org.gradle.api.logging.Logger log = ... some call

I know I can get it off project, I'm just hoping that passing it around from there isn't the choice

just get your own logger, there's no need to use the project's

what's the call for the gradle interface though

not sure what you mean by that, Gradle's Logger extends slf4j's Logger with

lifecycle

level but is otherwise the same thing

but it doesn't have the same api. slf4j has no quiet method for example

lifecycle and quiet are the ones that are Gradle specific levels, yes. But as ephemient said,

Logging.getLogger()

is a static method which you can use to get a Gradle logger.
