[slf4j-user] Logger in subclass in NULL

[Ulrich]

Thank you for your explanation. It's almost the same I had thought of myself but
I appreciate being approved (thank you for your sample); it's improves self
confidence.
Thank you for the hint making it static - this fixed it. I started using the
Logger as a static class but I like naming it dynamically (this.getClass()) -
it's a lot easier to maintain it. I sometimes move the classes from one package
to another or rename a package and I would need to change the name every time
then.

brgds,
Ulrich
