Why do we declare Loggers static final?

Question

In Java, why is it best practice to declare a logger static final?

private static final Logger S_LOGGER

Answer 1

Check this blog post: Get Rid of Java Static Loggers. This is how you use slf4j with jcabi-log:

import com.jcabi.log.Logger;
class Foo {
  void save(File f) {
    Logger.info(this, "file %s saved successfully", f);
  }
}

And never use that static noise any more.
