errael opened a new issue, #8240:
URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/8240
### Description
This affects (the hints are under `Options > Editor > Hints > Java`)
- `Insert Code` action/dialog, aka `Generate > Logger...`
- `Surround with try-catch` hint, under `Error Fixes` hints
- `Logging` hints
There might be other items that should be added to the above list.
A key question is how to specify which Logger, between `System` and
`java.util`, to use. Could
1. Add a new option somewhere; like a new tab under `Tools > Options`,
examples
- `Tools > Options > Java > Java Logging`
- `Tools > Options > Java > Java` for future looking
2. Extend list at `Tools > Options > Editor > Hints > Java > Surround with
try-catch`
with `Use java.lang.System.Logger`
Doing (2) above is the simplest. I'd be inclined to put it above `java.util`
and have it check-marked by default. Consider that in most instances at
run-time, there is little practical difference from the current behavior. These
options could be used by `Generate > Logger...`, and in other cases as needed,
to select which of the two loggers to use to initialize the logger. If this is
acceptable, I volunteer.
A few additional things that could be done
A "use existing logger" option for `Surround with try-catch`.
For reference, here the current and proposed code.
- Current
- `Generate>Logger...`
`private static final Logger LOG =
Logger.getLogger(Mavenproject5.class.getName());`
- `Surround with try-catch`
`Logger.getLogger(Mavenproject5.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null,
ex);`
- Proposed (when option is for System.Logger)
- `Generate>Logger...`
`private static final Logger LOG =
System.getLogger(Mavenproject5.class.getName());`
- `Surround with try-catch`
- `System.getLogger(Mavenproject5.class.getName()).log(Level.ERROR,
null, ex);`
- `LOG.log(Level.ERROR, null, ex);` // If "use existing logger"
implemented
Additional `Generate>Logger...` options for consideration
- specify name of generated logger, e.g. "logger" instead of "LOG"
- expression to use to init logger, e.g. "Utils.getLogger()" vs
System.getLogger(...)
With these options, a generated logger would look like
```
private static final Logger logger = Utils.getLogger();
```
