Description
Currently, our codebase uses private final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger();
for logging. We need to replace it with Lombok’s @Slf4j
annotation to reduce boilerplate code and improve maintainability.
Why?
- Flexibility –
@Slf4j
is a logging abstraction that allows switching between different logging frameworks (e.g., Log4j2, Logback) without modifying the code. - Future-Proofing – Unlike
@Log4j
, which tightly couples our code to Log4j,@Slf4j
ensures we can easily switch to another backend if needed. - Less Boilerplate –
@Slf4j
automatically generates the logger instance, removing the need for explicit declarations likeLogManager.getLogger()
. - Best Practices – Many modern Java projects prefer
@Slf4j
as it integrates well with different logging backends and provides better adaptability.
Action Items:
- Replace all occurrences of
private final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger();
with@Slf4j
annotation. - Ensure no functionality is broken after the migration.
