[forge-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (FORGE-2318) Being able to setup a logger

Being able to setup a logger ---------------------------- Key: FORGE-2318 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-2318 Project: Forge Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Java EE Reporter: Antonio Goncalves Fix For: 2.x Future It would be good to have a few commands to setup a logger and inject it into bean. And because logs are a pain (too many frameworks) it would help to have a {{logger-setup}} command. It will create the needed dependency (in the {{pom.xml}}) and add some basic configuration (eg. {{logback.xml}}) and why not, create a producer method so it can be injected. A basic logger would use JUL : {code} logger-setup {code} Or we could choose a provider and a version {code} logger-setup --provider LOG4J --version 4.1 {code} The different logging frameworks are : * JUL (out of the box, no need to have a dependency) * LOG4J2 : http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/ * LOG4J1 : http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/migration.html * SLF4J : http://www.slf4j.org/ * COMMONS_LOGGING : http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-logging/ * LOGBACK : http://logback.qos.ch/ Setting up a logger would add the right dependency but also generate a producer that would look like that, and therefore could be injected : {code} public class LoggingProducer { @Produces public Logger produceLogger(InjectionPoint injectionPoint) { return Logger.getLogger(injectionPoint.getMember().getDeclaringClass().getName()); } } {code}
