+Small example of usage is located in sub-project `scalalogging-log4j-test`. See `Log4jLogExample.scala`.
+To run example from sbt: type `project scalalogging-log4j-test` and then type `run` command.

+Second example is located in `project scalalogging-slf4j-test`.
+The example is configured to run the combination of slf4j with native jdk logger.
