Description

All log(Message) methods should use Message.getThrowable(), e.g.

    public void debug(final Message msg) {
        logIfEnabled(FQCN, Level.DEBUG, null, msg, msg != null ? msg.getThrowable() : null);
    }

instead of the current

    public void debug(final Message msg) {
        logIfEnabled(FQCN, Level.DEBUG, null, msg, null);
    }
