ClassCircularityError Avoidance 101

WhatWorks.java

// To avoid the ClassCircularityError, I have to log a message to the root logger before attaching a handler to it.
// But even that has to be done in a very particular way.

// I tried this:
Logger rootLogger = Logger.getLogger("");
rootLogger.log(rootLogger.getLevel(), "Some message");
// But that gives a ClassCircularityError

// Then I tried this:
Logger rootLogger = Logger.getLogger("");
if(rootLogger.getLevel() == null) rootLogger.setLevel(Level.INFO);
rootLogger.log(rootLogger.getLevel(), "Some message");
// But that gives a ClassCircularityError

// Then I tried this:
Logger rootLogger = Logger.getLogger("");
rootLogger.setLevel(Level.INFO);
rootLogger.info("Some message");
// And that works just fine!
