/**
 * <p>
 * A class providing basic logging capabilities.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * When reading configuration files in complex scenarios having log output is useful for diagnostic purposes. Therefore,
 * <em>Commons Configuration</em> produces some logging output. As concrete projects have different requirements on the
 * amount and detail of logging, there is a way of configuring logging: All classes derived from
 * {@link org.apache.commons.configuration2.AbstractConfiguration} can be assigned a logger which is then used for all
 * log statements generated.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Allowing a logger object to be passed to a configuration creates a direct dependency to a concrete logging framework
 * in the configuration API. This would make it impossible to switch to an alternative logging framework without
 * breaking backwards compatibility. To avoid this, the {@code ConfigurationLogger} class is introduced. It is a minimum
 * abstraction over a logging framework offering only very basic logging capabilities. The methods defined in this class
 * are used by configuration implementations to produce their logging statements. Client applications can create
 * specialized instances and pass them to configuration objects without having to deal with a concrete logging
 * framework. It is even possible to create a subclass that uses a completely different logging framework.
 * </p>
