An example of how we apply some of the techniques we learned in order to design a logging library.

Logging Example

In this example, we will develop a logging library.

Please note that this is only an example, used to introduce you to some software engineering challenges and techniques. In a real product, you would use an existing logging library , such as log4j, logback, and/or slf4j.

We start with a simple Main class that uses a print statement to print debug messages to the console.

New Requirement: We want to easily turn debug messages on/off.
