Findings - Overview

filtered LoggerIsNotStaticFinal (PMD)

The Logger variable declaration does not contain the static and final modifiers

In most cases, the Logger can be declared static and final.

 
class Foo{
    Logger log = Logger.getLogger(Foo.class.getName());
    // It is much better to declare the logger as follows 
    // static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(Foo.class.getName());
}
