			<h3>Overview</h3>
			<p>
			<em>NEW in lombok 0.10: </em>You can annotate any class with a log annotation to let lombok generate a logger field.<br />
			The logger is named <code>log</code> and the field's type depends on which logger you have selected.
			</p><p>
			There are six choices available:<br />

            By default, the topic (or name) of the logger will be the class name of the class annotated with the <code>@Log</code> annotation. This can be customised by specifying the <code>topic</code> parameter. For example: <code>@XSlf4j(topic="reporting")</code>.

				<p>
				If a field called <code>log</code> already exists, a warning will be emitted and no code will be generated.
				</p><p>
				A future feature of lombok's diverse log annotations is to find calls to the logger field and, if the chosen logging framework supports it and the log level can be compile-time determined from the log call, guard it with an <code>if</code> statement. This way if the log statement ends up being ignored, the potentially expensive calculation of the log string is avoided entirely. This does mean that you should <em>NOT</em> put any side-effects in the expression that you log.
