[JDK 11] RFR: 8195096: Exception printed on console with custom LogManager on starting Apache Tomcat

[Jason Mehrens]

Not my call but adding addInitialRootLoggerHandlers() seems too much like a private detail that would be forever published as part of the public API.

I would rather have have a protected reportError added to LogManager and redirect all internal errors from directly calling System.err to that method.
Then sub-classes could override that method and ignore internal errors generated by the super class.

Thanks again for the hints. I have a work-around that seems to work:
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1821708

It feels a bit hacky. I'd still prefer to be able to override
addInitialRootLoggerHandlers() as that strikes me as a cleaner solution.

Cheers,
