# Splunk Logging for Java
-#### Version 1.7.0
+#### Version 1.7.1
Splunk logging for Java enables you to log events to HTTP Event Collector or to a TCP input on a Splunk Enterprise instance within your Java applications. You can use three major Java logging frameworks: [Logback](http://logback.qos.ch), [Log4j 2](http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/), and [java.util.logging](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/logging/package-summary.html). Splunk logging for Java is also enabled for [Simple Logging Facade for Java (SLF4J)](http://www.slf4j.org).
