+<h3>Example</h3>
+Writing an adapter to your favourite log library is very easy.
+Just implent the BuildListener interface, instantiate your logger and delegate
+the message to that instance. <br>
+When starting your build provide your adapter class and the log library to the
+build classpath and activate your logger via <code>-listener</code> option as
+described above.
