Ivan Anev updated LOG4J2-86: ---------------------------- Description: Provide logging methods with only a Throwable object as a single parameter: info(Throwable e) error(Throwable e) ... The throwable objects contain a message themself and a stacktrace. So most of the times its pointless to log additional message. So in order to log them now you have to log an empty message and the throwable object: logger.error("", e); Which is obviously ugly and pointless when there is no reason not to have method like: logger.error(e); was: Provide logging methods with only a Throwable object as a single parameter: info(Throwable e) error(Throwable e) ...
