             Summary: FAILED_INITIALIZATION case in 
LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory swallows root exception
                 Key: SLF4J-390
                 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/SLF4J-390
             Project: SLF4J
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.7.22
            Reporter: Andreas Sewe
            Assignee: SLF4J developers list
            Priority: Minor


I have a hard time triaging an {{IllegalStateException}} thrown by 
{{LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory}} that has been reported by a user ([Eclipse 
Bug 510487|https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=510487]) as the root 
exception is not wrapped by the {{IllegalStateException}}: 
[https://github.com/qos-ch/slf4j/blob/v_1.7.22/slf4j-api/src/main/java/org/slf4j/LoggerFactory.java#L422].

AFAICT, that exception is only logged to the console 
([https://github.com/qos-ch/slf4j/blob/v_1.7.22/slf4j-api/src/main/java/org/slf4j/LoggerFactory.java#L194]).
 This makes error reports sent by an automatic error reporting system (like the 
one employed for the Eclipse IDE) less useful, as the crucial information won't 
be included automatically.

Hence, it would be great if SLF4J could hold onto the {{Throwable}} for a bit 
and than wrap it in the final {{IllegalStateException}}.
