http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163 Summary: Copy & paste of LoggerFactory.getLogger Product: SLF4J Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Core API AssignedTo: slf4j-dev@qos.ch ReportedBy: thomas.tom.mueller@gmail.com This is a feature request. Currently, when I create a new logger in a class, I copy & paste the following line from another class: private static Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(AcmeImpl.class); Sometimes I forget to change the class name. SLF4J could help me here. I suggest to add a new method, so the class name is not required, so that I can copy & paste the line without having to remember that I have to change the class name. Also, it's a bit shorter: private static Logger log = LoggerFactory.getCallerClassLogger(); This is copy & paste friendly. The implementation is tricky, but trivial once you understand it: getCallerClassLogger() { return getLogger(new Error().getStackTrace()[1].getClassName()); } There is a project that tries to solve the copy & paste problem: http://code.google.com/p/morbok/ -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
