Static Wrapper of SLF4J
Logger is a convenient static wrapper of slf4j (don't forget to include one of SLF4J Bindings into the project):
import com.jcabi.log.Logger; class Foo { void bar(int value) { Logger.debug(this, "method #bar(%d) was called", value); } }

There are a few other convenient classes in this package:
- VerboseRunnable: wrapper around java.lang.Runnable that swallows all runtime exceptions and logs them to SLF4J.
- VerboseProcess: wrapper around java.lang.Process that monitors process executions, collects its output into a String and logs everything through SLF4J.
- VerboseThreads: an implementation of java.util.concurrent.ThreadFactory that instantiates threads that log all runtime exceptions through SLF4J.
The only dependency you need is (you can also download jcabi-log-0.17.4.jar and add it to the classpath):
<dependency> <groupId>com.jcabi</groupId> <artifactId>jcabi-log</artifactId> <version>0.17.4</version> </dependency>
