Java 9 Programming By Example

Java 9 logging

Java 9 includes a facade implementation for logging. The use is very simple and we can expect that logging frameworks will very soon start to support this façade. The fact that this façade is built into the JDK has two major advantage:

• The libraries that want to log do not need to have any dependency on any logging framework or logging façade any more. The only dependency is the JDK log façade that is there anyway.
• The JDK libraries that log themselves use this façade and thus they will log into the same log file as the application.

If we use the JDK-provided logging façade the start of the ColorManager class will be changed to the following:
