Thank you for green light!

Anyway - I will unittest before the push.

One possible improvement (related to this change set) :
There is  138 occurrences of log(Level level, Throwable s)
There is  67 occurrences of log(Throwable s)
The  log(Throwable s)  is call to   log(Level.ERROR_DEBUG, (Object) s);
and those log(Level level, Throwable s)  are mostly  log(Level.ERROR_ALL, throwable) calls

I was thinking about changing it to
There is 68  occurrences of log(Level level, Throwable s)
There is  138 occurrences of log(Throwable s)
where The  log(Throwable s)  will be call to   log(Level.ERROR_ALL, (Object) s)

What do you think?

Until your reply I will fix the headers and  continue to write uniitests.
After unittests are done, I will push this change set, and sent tests for separate review.


Thanx for cooperation!
