public final class Logger extends Object
Instead of relying on some logging engine you can use this class, which transforms all messages to SLF4J. This approach gives you a perfect decoupling of business logic and logging mechanism. All methods in the class are called statically, without the necessity to instantiate the class.
Use it like this in any class, and in any package:
 package com.example.XXX;
 import com.jcabi.log.Logger;
 public class MyClass {
   public void foo(Integer num) {
     Logger.info(this, "foo(%d) just called", num);
   }
 }
 Or statically (pay attention to MyClass.class):
 
 public class MyClass {
   public static void foo(Integer num) {
     Logger.info(MyClass.class, "foo(%d) just called", num);
   }
 }
 Exact binding between SLF4J and logging facility has to be
 specified in pom.xml of your project (or in classpath directly).
 
For performance reasons in most cases before sending a
 TRACE or DEBUG log message you may check whether this
 logging level is enabled in the project, e.g.:
 
 //...
 if (Logger.isTraceEnabled(this)) {
   Logger.trace(this, "#foo() called");
 }
 //...
 There is only one reason to do so - if you want to save time spent on
 preparing of the arguments. By default, such a call is made inside every
 method of Logger class.
