31 * This annotation is associated with a class that has a logger.
32 * It contains a name property of the logger name. e.g. a class
33 * whose logger can be initialized by --log:fields, should be
34 * annotated @Logger(name="fields"). Multiple classes can have
35 * the same annotation, which will make them use the same logger
36 * object. Usually a class with this annotation is also a Loggable,
37 * but it is not a hard demand
