If you do want to inject application-level tracing then I'd go for aspects, which are designed specifically to provide such orthogonal behavior to the classlib functionality.
I suppose we still need someone to investigate this field and invent the acceptable solution. I remember Geir volunteered to do something in this direction. Regards, 2006/10/18, Tim Ellison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I maintain that we should not be putting printf's (i.e. calls to logging) in the Java code. We are running on a virtual machine that knows everything about the executing code, what methods are being invoked, the actual arguments, the state of the stacks and the heap, etc. There is much more value in a good trace story built into the VM than having developers decide a priori where the problems are going to be. By adding logging calls you have a much more significant effect on the code base, you hit performance, modify the stack to log the messages, bloat the code for readability, and by definition introduce more bugs and maintenance overhead. If you do want to inject application-level tracing then I'd go for aspects, which are designed specifically to provide such orthogonal behavior to the classlib functionality. If you look here[1] there is a document that describes the diagnostics capabilities in the IBM VM that we use to support our customers.
