/**
 * There is a single global LogManager object that is used to
 * maintain a set of shared state about Loggers and log services.
 * <p>
 * This LogManager object:
 * <ul>
 * <li> Manages a hierarchical namespace of Logger objects.  All
 *      named Loggers are stored in this namespace.
 * <li> Manages a set of logging control properties.  These are
 *      simple key-value pairs that can be used by Handlers and
 *      other logging objects to configure themselves.
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * The global LogManager object can be retrieved using LogManager.getLogManager().
 * The LogManager object is created during class initialization and
 * cannot subsequently be changed.
 * <p>
 * At startup the LogManager class is located using the 
 * java.util.logging.manager system property.
 * <p>
 * By default, the LogManager reads its initial configuration from 
 * a properties file "lib/logging.properties" in the JRE directory.
 * If you edit that property file you can change the default logging
 * configuration for all uses of that JRE.
 * <p>
 * In addition, the LogManager uses two optional system properties that
 * allow more control over reading the initial configuration:
 * <ul>
 * <li>"java.util.logging.config.class"
 * <li>"java.util.logging.config.file"
 * </ul>
 * These two properties may be set via the Preferences API, or as
 * command line property definitions to the "java" command, or as
 * system property definitions passed to JNI_CreateJavaVM.
 * <p>
 * If the "java.util.logging.config.class" property is set, then the
 * property value is treated as a class name.  The given class will be
 * loaded, an object will be instantiated, and that object's constructor
 * is responsible for reading in the initial configuration.  (That object
 * may use other system properties to control its configuration.)  The
 * alternate configuration class can use <tt>readConfiguration(InputStream)</tt>
 * to define properties in the LogManager.
 * <p>
 * If "java.util.logging.config.class" property is <b>not</b> set,
 * then the "java.util.logging.config.file" system property can be used
 * to specify a properties file (in java.util.Properties format). The
 * initial logging configuration will be read from this file.
 * <p>
 * If neither of these properties is defined then, as described
 * above, the LogManager will read its initial configuration from 
 * a properties file "lib/logging.properties" in the JRE directory.
 * <p>
 * The properties for loggers and Handlers will have names starting
 * with the dot-separated name for the handler or logger.
 * <p>
 * The global logging properties may include:
 * <ul>
 * <li>A property "handlers".  This defines a whitespace or comma separated
 * list of class names for handler classes to load and register as
 * handlers on the root Logger (the Logger named "").  Each class
 * name must be for a Handler class which has a default constructor.
 * Note that these Handlers may be created lazily, when they are
 * first used.
 *
 * <li>A property "<logger>.handlers". This defines a whitespace or
 * comma separated list of class names for handlers classes to
 * load and register as handlers to the specified logger. Each class
 * name must be for a Handler class which has a default constructor.
 * Note that these Handlers may be created lazily, when they are
 * first used.
 *
 * <li>A property "<logger>.useParentHandlers". This defines a boolean
 * value. By default every logger calls its parent in addition to
 * handling the logging message itself, this often result in messages
 * being handled by the root logger as well. When setting this property
 * to false a Handler needs to be configured for this logger otherwise
 * no logging messages are delivered.
 *
 * <li>A property "config".  This property is intended to allow
 * arbitrary configuration code to be run.  The property defines a
 * whitespace or comma separated list of class names.  A new instance will be
 * created for each named class.  The default constructor of each class
 * may execute arbitrary code to update the logging configuration, such as
 * setting logger levels, adding handlers, adding filters, etc.
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * Note that all classes loaded during LogManager configuration are
 * first searched on the system class path before any user class path.  
 * That includes the LogManager class, any config classes, and any 
 * handler classes.
 * <p>
 * Loggers are organized into a naming hierarchy based on their
 * dot separated names.  Thus "a.b.c" is a child of "a.b", but
 * "a.b1" and a.b2" are peers.
 * <p>
 * All properties whose names end with ".level" are assumed to define
 * log levels for Loggers.  Thus "foo.level" defines a log level for
 * the logger called "foo" and (recursively) for any of its children
 * in the naming hierarchy.  Log Levels are applied in the order they 
 * are defined in the properties file.  Thus level settings for child
 * nodes in the tree should come after settings for their parents.
 * The property name ".level" can be used to set the level for the
 * root of the tree.
 * <p> 
 * All methods on the LogManager object are multi-thread safe.
 *
 * @version 1.52, 03/13/07
 * @since 1.4
