Ralph Goers commented on LBCLASSIC-102:
---------------------------------------

Having each instance vary the logger name is going to eat up a ton of memory as you will be creating a new logger for each one. Loggers typically are typically cached forever since they are likely to be reused.  

> Suggestion: Change logger name of inner classes.

> At the moment, the logger name of inner classes is OuterClass$InnerClass.
> Because of that, the logging level of OuterClass isn't inherited by InnerClass at the moment.
> If LoggerFactory changed the logger name to OuterClass.InnerClass instead, InnerClass would inherit the logging level of OuterClass which seems intuitively correct.
> I'd suggest to accept both $InnerClass and .InnerClass style in logback configurations for compatibility and usability reasons.
