You could use a custom Level which has a "value" higher than FATAL but
is labeled as "INFO" or whatever.
public interface CustomLevel
{
int ALWAYS_INT = Level.ALL_INT;
Level ALWAYS = new Level(ALWAYS_INT, "INFO", 7);
}
Logger.log(CustomLevel.ALWAYS, "message");
I'm surprised this pattern isn't used more often...
You might find better names than "ALWAYS". Of course, if the category
itself is totally off then this might not work. (This probably would be
the better pattern anyway.)
