One update. I got an email from another user who said to explicitly
cast to a Logger because "Logger.getInstance() returns a Category for backwards
compatibility,
so you need to cast."
So, it would be:
transient final private static Logger logger =
(Logger)Logger.getLogger{MyClass.class.getName());
or does that not affect getLogger(), but only getInstance()?
