[logging] [patch] making logging applet-friendly

[Paul Libbrecht]

Hi there,

To me Jakarta-logging is a saviour in the process of writing sandboxed 
things such as applets or webstart sandboxed applications: we dare use 
log4j for our servers but can turn to the very simple jakarta-logging 
when deploying over the client (log4j is a catastrophe for applets btw).

Everything is fine except... the static initialization of SimpleLog.java 
wich calls a getProperty on a property that is not allowed...

So here's my patch: catch the getProperty()'s possible throws by just 
considering the proprety is not there.

Here's the method, line 161 of SimpleLog.java:

    private static String getStringProperty(String name) {
        String prop = null;
        try {
            prop = System.getProperty(name);
        } catch (Throwable t) {} // ignore...
        return (prop == null) ? simpleLogProps.getProperty(name) : prop;
    }
Should I make a real unidiff patch for that ?

thanks.

Paul
