LOG2

Log2 is a library for simplifying logging. It uses Slf4j internally and therefore will not interfere with any custom logging solutions.

It is written in Kotlin and therefore should be fully interoperable with Java. If you are using ONLY Java, I'd recommend using Lombok's @Slf4j annotation instead.

Log2 is designed at the Java 11 language level and therefore may or may not work in lower versions of Java. YMMV.

Setup

Gradle:

1. In your root build.gradle

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}

repositories {
    maven(url = "https://jitpack.io")
}

2. In your project build.gradle

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.djcass44:log2:4.1'
}

dependencies {
    implementation("com.github.djcass44:log2:4.1")
}

Maven:

1. Add the JitPack repository

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>jitpack.io</id>
        <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

2. Add the dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.djcass44</groupId>
    <artifactId>log2</artifactId>
    <version>4.1</version>
</dependency>

Usage

Log.e(javaClass, "An error occurred!")
// Will print 
// 1970-01-01 00:00:00 000 | [main] |-ERROR in org.example.test.TestLog - An error occurred!
// kotlin extensions
"An error has occurred!".loge(javaClass)
try {
    something.throwsErr()
}
catch (e: Exception) {
    // include a throwable to print to console
    "Caught exception in somemethod".logf(javaClass, e)
}
