This is a feature request.

Currently, when I create a new logger in a class, I copy & paste the following
line from another class:

  private static Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(AcmeImpl.class);

Sometimes I forget to change the class name. SLF4J could help me here. I
suggest to add a new method, so the class name is not required, so that I can
copy & paste the line without having to remember that I have to change the
class name. Also, it's a bit shorter:

  private static Logger log = LoggerFactory.getCallerClassLogger();

This is copy & paste friendly. The implementation is tricky, but trivial once
you understand it:

  getCallerClassLogger() {
    return getLogger(new Error().getStackTrace()[1].getClassName());
  }

There is a project that tries to solve the copy & paste problem:
