http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163 --- Comment #10 from Thorsten <thorsten.Moeller@unibas.ch> 2009-12-15 10:59:01 --- I'd like to comment on this request. I'm totally against such an extension for one simple reason. In my opinion there is a very simple and clean solution to the copy-and-paste based and error prone approach to declaring logger instances. Every modern IDE (and also editors such as emacs or vi) provide (dynamic) code templates. For instance, I use Eclipse and one of my oldest templates that I've added long time ago is this one (see also the attached screenshot): ${:import(org.slf4j.Logger, org.slf4j.LoggerFactory)}${argType} private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(${enclosing_type}.class); Using this template one can declare a logger context sensitively in one fell swoop! Rather than introducing probably leaky extensions to the code one should make use of functions provided by modern tools. If you agree then I suggest to add a short documentation to the Web site so that (new) users can easily extend there Eclipse/IDE. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
