usage

essentially the same as what you're used to - except you can use format strings to log messages. here's an example:

import net.swisstech.logger.Logger;
import net.swisstech.logger.LoggerFactory;

public class YourClass {

    private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(YourClass.class);

    public void yourMethod(String name, int num) {

        // simple log
        LOG.info("Hello, %s!", name);

        // exception/throwable is always the last argument
        // and NOT part of the format string
        LOG.error("Oops %s caused %5d errors!", name, num, new Exception("testing"));
    }
}
