Add @Logger(factory=MyLoggerFactory.class)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I would like a new logging annotation that could accept a factory class as a 
parameter, and would then generate the log field.

For example,
import com.mycompany.MyLoggerFactory;

@Logger(factory=MyLoggerFactory.class)
public class MyClass {
    public static void doStuff() {
        log.info("some stuff");
    }
}

would become
import com.mycompany.MyLoggerFactory;

public class MyClass {
    private static final java.util.logging.Logger log = com.mycompany.MyLoggerFactory.getLogger(MyClass.class);

    public static void doStuff() {
        log.info("some stuff");
    }
}

This would make it convenient to add custom loggers, in particular loggers that 
had custom methods on them that would allow for logging structured data.

I just noticed that the output example is wrong. It should be

import com.mycompany.MyLoggerFactory;

public class MyClass {
    private static final MyLogger log = com.mycompany.MyLoggerFactory.getLogger(MyClass.class);

    public static void doStuff() {
        log.info("some stuff");
    }
}

where MyLogger is the return type of getLogger.
