Description

In order to work around the fact that @Slf4j doesn't work on traits, I declared an slf4j logger the traditional way:

private static final Logger slf4j = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Auditing)

However, the final keyword is ignored when the trait is applied to a class. From javap:

  private static org.slf4j.Logger com_artsquare_studio_audit_api_Auditing__slf4j;
  public static org.slf4j.Logger com_artsquare_studio_audit_api_Auditing__slf4j$get();
  public static org.slf4j.Logger com_artsquare_studio_audit_api_Auditing__slf4j$set(org.slf4j.Logger);
