Abstract

Loggers should be declared to be static and final.

Description

It is good programming practice to share a single logger object between all of the instances of a particular class and to use the same logger for the duration of the program.

Examples

The following statement errantly declares a non-static logger.

	private final Logger logger =     
				Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class);
