Java logger that automatically determines caller's class name

Question

public static Logger getLogger() {
    final Throwable t = new Throwable();
    final StackTraceElement methodCaller = t.getStackTrace()[1];
    final Logger logger          


        

Answer 1

I guess it adds a lot of overhead for every class. Every class has to be 'looked up'. You create new Throwable objects to do that... These throwables don't come for free.
