Hm.
LogManger's initializer does
Logger root = Logger.getLogger("");
and Logger has
public final static Logger global = Logger.getLogger("global");
which eventually executes
LogManager man = LogManager.getLogManager();
and around we go.
So why don't we always run aground with this? Why is this the first
time we see this?
I think that only stack trace of NPE can show the real reason of the
problem... If it is NPE (uninitialized field has to be null),
otherwise my
guess could be wrong.
Wouldn't a simple approach to fixing this be create the root logger
with a
custom implementation of Logger instead of using Logger.getLogger
("") to
create it. Also, the same thing would be done for the global logger
initialization. This could be done with a package-private
constructor just
for this special purpose. This way the initialization of LogManager
can use
Logger, but the initialization of Logger doesn't use LogManager.
How would the root logger be a Logger?

The workaround for such cases is simple, in methods like
void m () {
f.m2();
}
it is necessary to write
void m () {
if (f == null)
initf();
f.m2();
}
This, in case may cause infinite recursion because in case
initialization
of
field f may still refer to method m in other classes, but it is
easier to
resolve.
