[Geotools-devel] Logging: a proposal

[Martin D. <mar...@te...>]

Not sure if it will meets everyone's wish, but this is an attempt.

When getting a logger, one can put a call to 
org.geotools.resources.Geotools.init() in a class initialization block. 
For example:

/**
  * The logger for the default core module.
  */
protected static final Logger LOGGER = 
Logger.getLogger("org.geotools.core");
static {
     org.geotools.resources.Geotools.init();
}


It will change logging to the console to the following format, for 
"org.geotools" packages only:

[core    FINE] There is some debug message.
[core WARNING] There is a warning message.
[filter  FINE] There is a message from the "org.geotools.filter" pacakge

etc.

Note that this addition introduce a dependency to the "resources" 
module, which need to be declared in the build.xml file...
