RFR: 8043306 - Provide a replacement for the API that allowed to listen for LogManager configuration changes

[Daniel Fuchs]

Hi,

Please find below a proposed patch for

8043306 - Provide a replacement for the API that allowed to listen
           for LogManager configuration changes
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8043306

Proposed Patch:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dfuchs/webrev_8043306/webrev.00/

JDK-8029805 Removed LogManager addPropertyChangeListener
and removePropertyChangeListener methods which were
deprecated. These methods were deprecated in Java SE 8 and
flagged  for removal because they were problematic for
modularity efforts.
The idea was that an application needing to be informed of
configuration changes could subclass LogManager and override
readConfiguration.

The proposed patch adds to new methods to LogManager:

public void 
LogManager.addConfigurationListener(LogManager.ConfigurationListener 
listener);
public void 
LogManager.removeConfigurationListener(LogManager.ConfigurationListener 
listener);

These methods can be used by those applications for which subclassing
LogManager would be too impractical.

best regards,
