Description

« Hide

That would be really nice if we could just get rid of code like in this example:

--~~BeanProperty~~--
[...]
private static final boolean LOG = false;

private static void log(String method, String message) {
if (LOG) { System.err.println("LOG: " + method + ": " + message); }
}
---------

That would be great if logger could be used with appropriate levels like SEVERE when, for example, binding is incorrect - there is no feedback from the 'Beans Binding' now, and sometimes it is really hard to find out what is wrong.

Would it be a better idea to use SLF4J instead? No one seems to be using the default java.util.logging anyway...it does not seem to get much love.

I've been using util.logging for years, but I've planned to replace it. Indeed, among all the competition, SLF4J is the one I like more, also for a precise technical reason (you can avoid in most cases to wrap logging in to if (level == ) when you fear to waste time in composing the string; I mean, as util.logging only takes a single string as the message, without 'if' you spent the time to build the string out of its components).

My concern is about adding a dependency. Ok, I'm going to blog about that (please follow my blog on java.net) and collect some feedback before deciding.

Don't do for the EL component, that we hope to drop sooner or later.

A specific wrapper class org.jdesktop.beansbinding.util.logging.Logger has been added. It wraps java.util.logging.Logger, in future could wrap other facilities.
For the rationale, see the discussion at http://netbeans.dzone.com/news/which-logging-facility-swing
