[hibernate-dev] Should static logger classes be avoided

[Sanne Grinovero]

I would not avoid static loggers, there are better solutions like
making sure the "shared library" is loaded in the right classloader
(of the container).
AFAIK JBoss Modules do the right thing and BVal would be loaded in its
own module, making it reusable without drawbacks.

Creating logger instances on demand will use more CPU, keep more
memory busy, and just overall bloat the library.
Only viable alternative is to remove all logging :D
