/**
* <font color="#AA2222"><b>This class has been deprecated and replaced by the
* {@link Logger} <em>subclass</em></b></font>. It will be kept around to preserve backward compatibility until mid
* 2003.
*
* <p>
* <code>Logger</code> is a subclass of Category, i.e. it extends Category. In
* other words, a logger <em>is</em> a category. Thus, all operations that can be performed on a category can be
* performed on a logger. Internally, whenever log4j is asked to produce a Category object, it will instead produce a
* Logger object. Log4j 1.2 will <em>never</em> produce Category objects but only
* <code>Logger</code> instances. In order to preserve backward compatibility,
* methods that previously accepted category objects still continue to accept category objects.
*
* <p>
* For example, the following are all legal and will work as expected.
*
* <pre>
* // Deprecated form:
* Category cat = Category.getInstance("foo.bar")
*
* // Preferred form for retrieving loggers:
* Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("foo.bar")
* </pre>
*
* <p>
* The first form is deprecated and should be avoided.
*
* <p>
* <b>There is absolutely no need for new client code to use or refer to the
* <code>Category</code> class.</b> Whenever possible, please avoid referring to
* it or using it.
*
* <p>
* See the <a href="../../../../manual.html">short manual</a> for an introduction on this class.
* <p>
* See the document entitled
* <a href="http://www.qos.ch/logging/preparingFor13.html">preparing for log4j
* 1.3</a> for a more detailed discussion.
