And my logger is not a full-blown abstraction, just a small wrapper over existing logging frameworks. But...since you couldn't provide simple methods like: String getMessage(long messageId, Object... params); info(long messageId, Object... params) I'm stuck writing Yet Another Redundant Fucking Logging Abstraction for i18n because I absolutely refuse to be dependent on any specific Yet Another Fucking Logging Abstraction.
