After a bit of frustration with the current state of logging in Java land, this is a package that wraps and configures a number of logging sub-systems.
This includes:
- Apache Commons Logging 1.1
- Apache Log4j 1.2
- Apache Log4j 2.0
- JDK Logging (
java.utils.logging, tested with JDK7) - Logback 1.0
- SLF4J 1.7
To initialize logging simply call the Logging.init() method in the first
line of your main(String[]) method, or add, at the top of your main class,
something like this:
static { Logging.init(); }
Our Log class can be used by instantiating it atop your class files, the
name of the logger will be automatically discovered by examining stack traces.
private static final Log = new Log();
Note that you are NOT allowed to use our Log class in ANY of your
project, as this does not want to create yet another logging API of any sort.
You're free to write your own taking inspiration from it, though.
This is all licensed under the Apache Software License version 2,
with the restriction of being unable to use the Log class in your code.
