logging

Dumping out information as a program proceeds to a file. It may be a log of transactions, debugging information or raw material for statistics. This sounds like something mindless that could be entirely handled with println, but by adding sufficient bells and whistles it becomes an entire package unto itself. For example, you control at runtime which logging information you want included.

There are logging classes built in to Java 1.1.4+.

Log4J allows channels to stream different classes of messages to different files, and to configure logging behaviour after the code is compiled on a very fine granularity.
