Description

slf4j is popular. Very popular. We could save developers countless hours if the auto-complete for LoggerFactory.getLogger(Class) would insert the enclosing class name instead of "clazz" as it currently does.

For example, given:

public class ThisIsFun
{
  private final LoggerFactory log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(***);
}

We would auto-complete as:

public class ThisIsFun
{
  private final LoggerFactory log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(ThisIsFun.class);
}
