usage

essentially the same as what you're used to - except you can use format strings to log messages. here's an example:

importnet.swisstech.logger.Logger;
importnet.swisstech.logger.LoggerFactory;
publicclassYourClass {
privatestaticfinalLoggerLOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(YourClass.class);
publicvoidyourMethod(Stringname, intnum) {
// simple logLOG.info("Hello, %s!", name);
// exception/throwable is always the last argument// and NOT part of the format stringLOG.error("Oops %s caused %5d errors!", name, num, newException("testing"));
}
}
