I get the point.
I ALREADY DO THAT!
I use categories for this. The categories in my system aren't classnames,
I make them in a LoggingCategories static file with lots of Strings in
them, concatenating each type to form a hierachy of of "domains" if you
will.
Also, sometimes some log-statements are output to several Loggers - I
assume your Domains-stash will fix this magically, right? Just "add" a
logger to the relevant Domains? Multi-node-in-the-hierarchy-tree logging
with one log statement?
- I'd still want trace!!! -
How would the domains help me with my initial concern: needing extremely
verbose information about the thing I'm currently working with (whether
it's new code or fixing/debugging or extending old code), while having
"heavy" debug information for the rest of the system, to get relevant
context for the trace-parts. Argh, this seems so blatantly obvious to me!!

No, it won't! What about all the other levels? Remove them too, then? Why
would trace be left redundant, but not the other levels?

Oh, thanks!
When I've got about 50% of the user base, I hope we can come together
again! ;)

Hmm.. This is definately a sidetrack to this discussion, but this one was
a little startling: Is log4j your own little baby, not meant for my eyes
to see? Open Source toghether with "revelations" and similar stuff at
Conferences doesn't seem like the most perfect match for my taste..

Would be excellent being there, but I'm in Norway.. It's a little long way
for my wallet..
Endre.
