/**
* [JDK INTERNAL]
* The {@code sun.util.logger} package defines an internal provider
* whose default naive implementation is replaced by the {@code java.logging}
* module when the {@code java.logging} module is present.
*
* Default Implementation
*
* The JDK default implementation of the System.LoggerFinder will attempt to
* load an installed instance of the {@link sun.util.logger.JdkLoggerProvider}
* defined in this package.
* When the {@code java.util.logging} package is present, this will usually
* resolve to an instance of {@link sun.util.logging.internal.JdkLoggingProvider} -
* which provides an implementation of the Logger whose backend is a
* {@link java.util.logging.Logger java.util.logging.Logger}.
* Configuration can thus be performed by direct access to the regular
* {@code java.util.logging} APIs,
* using {@link java.util.logging.Logger java.util.logging.Logger} and
* {@link java.util.logging.LogManager} to access and configure the backend
* Loggers.
*
* If however {@code java.util.logging} is not linked with the application, then
* the default implementation will return a simple logger that will print out
* all log messages of INFO level and above to the console ({@code System.err}),
* as implemented by the base {@link sun.util.logger.JdkLoggerProvider} class.
*
* Message Levels and Mapping to java.util.logging
*
* The {@link java.lang.System.LoggerFinder} class documentation describe how
* {@linkplain java.lang.System.Logger.Level System.Logger levels} are mapped
* to {@linkplain java.util.logging.Level JUL levels} when {@code
* java.util.logging} is the backend.
*
* Migrating From {@code java.util.logging}
*
* When migrating a class from logging through {@code java.util.logging} to
* logging through the {@link java.lang.System.Logger System Loggers}, there are two
* choices:
*
* - You can use the {@link sun.util.logging.PlatformLogger} which will
* forward log events through a logger obtained from the LoggerFinder - but
* this will bind you to an internal API, and the PlatformLogger only support
* a small subset of the methods defined on {@code java.util.logging.Logger}.
*
* - The other possibility is to obtain a {@link java.lang.System.Logger
* System.Logger} instance from the factory methods defined in
* {@link java.lang.System java.lang.System}, and modify
* all the log statements in the class. This requires more work, but will make
* the class use a public and supported interface, as well as making it
* independent from {@code java.util.logging}, even when
* {@code java.util.logging} is the backend.
