If it is not possible in the remaining dev time for JDK8 to expose Reflection.getCallerClass() functionality through some public API, why must -Djdk.reflect.allowGetCallerClass be discontinued so soon? Why the hot potato? I don't see how impacting the many (most? or all?) open source logging libraries is a good idea.
With the argument of "you shouldn't be using private sun.* classes" aside, it seriously needs to be evaulted rather causing such commotion is worthwhile. I would like Oracle to reconsider dropping the System property workaround until an API can be put in place. -- Cheers, Paul
