public class ZFormatter
extends SimpleFormatter

This is a Logger formatter that prints readable indented messages. It is for formatting log messages in java.util.logging package. It records the ENTRY/EXIT log records to indent messages so that they reflect the call stack. It ignores (does not display) a lot of information like full package names, levels, times, threads. To install this formatter, do something like this:

    // set the logger to use a human-readable format
    Handler fh = new FileHandler("zlive.log");
    fh.setFormatter(new ZFormatter());
    Logger.getLogger(...).addHandler(fh);
