/**
 * The <code>LogManager</code> maintains a hierarchical namespace
 * of Logger objects and manages properties for configuring the logging
 * framework. There exists only one single <code>LogManager</code>
 * per virtual machine. This instance can be retrieved using the
 * static method {@link #getLogManager()}.
 *
 * <p><strong>Configuration Process:</strong> The global LogManager
 * object is created and configured when the class
 * <code>java.util.logging.LogManager</code> is initialized.
 * The configuration process includes the subsequent steps:
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>If the system property <code>java.util.logging.manager</code>
 *     is set to the name of a subclass of
 *     <code>java.util.logging.LogManager</code>, an instance of
 *     that subclass is created and becomes the global LogManager.
 *     Otherwise, a new instance of LogManager is created.</li>
 * <li>The <code>LogManager</code> constructor tries to create
 *     a new instance of the class specified by the system
 *     property <code>java.util.logging.config.class</code>.
 *     Typically, the constructor of this class will call
 *     <code>LogManager.getLogManager().readConfiguration(java.io.InputStream)</code>
 *     for configuring the logging framework.
 *     The configuration process stops at this point if
 *     the system property <code>java.util.logging.config.class</code>
 *     is set (irrespective of whether the class constructor
 *     could be called or an exception was thrown).</li>
 *
 * <li>If the system property <code>java.util.logging.config.class</code>
 *     is <em>not</em> set, the configuration parameters are read in from
 *     a file and passed to
 *     {@link #readConfiguration(java.io.InputStream)}.
 *     The name and location of this file are specified by the system
 *     property <code>java.util.logging.config.file</code>.</li>
 * <li>If the system property <code>java.util.logging.config.file</code>
 *     is not set, however, the contents of the URL
 *     "{gnu.classpath.home.url}/logging.properties" are passed to
 *     {@link #readConfiguration(java.io.InputStream)}.
 *     Here, "{gnu.classpath.home.url}" stands for the value of
 *     the system property <code>gnu.classpath.home.url</code>.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>The <code>LogManager</code> has a level of <code>INFO</code> by
 * default, and this will be inherited by <code>Logger</code>s unless they
 * override it either by properties or programmatically.
