I should have mentioned to have a look at the default error code on cvs in
"org/apache/log/output/AbstractTarget.java"

Subject:    RE: ConsoleLogger inside AbstractLogEnabled (AbstractLoggable)


Honestly, we should throw a LoggerNotSetException() or something
useful like that.  If you return a NullLogger (swallows all log
events) or a ConsoleLogger (slows everything down by forwarding
events to the screen), you never report a bug to the user.

Furthermore, you are not guaranteed access to the System.out stream.

The LoggerNotSetException approach is cleaner--and forces the
developer to write correct code.  It also gives the developer
a clue as to what the real problem is.
