Static & default interface methods in Logger interface require annotation ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: LOGTOOL-96 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/LOGTOOL-96 Project: Log Tool Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Radim Vansa Assignee: James Perkins When I want to add a static helper method to the interface used for message logger, I get an error about requiring the @Message annotation. I think that this should not be required for static methods. My usecase: {code} @MessageLogger(projectCode = "FOO") public interface FooMessageLogger extends BasicLogger { static FooMessageLogger getLog(Class clazz) { return Logger.getMessageLogger(FooMessageLogger.class, clazz.getName()); } /* regular annotated logging methods */ } {code}
