yes, it is pretty brutal.  I thought if it was 'in the best interests' of the user we could consider it, but as I said, I don't really understand the use cases that may benefit from sub-classing Logger.

Hola,
I don't think we should subclass it as final.  That's a radical measure far
beyond a recommendation, and we can't assume we know all the
use-cases/scenarios under which people might want to subclass Logger.

The above applies to most open-source code, especially utility-level stuff
like log4j, not just the Logger class per-se ;)

Subject: sub-classing logger - mark as final?

If we do not recommend sub-classing Logger, should we just mark it as
final? (or am I over simplfying things here?).

cheers,

Paul
