title: Change global setting for Logger instances
body: <p>I'm using <a href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/logging/Logger.html">java.util.logging.Logger</a> as the logging engine for my application. Each class uses it's own logger, i.e., each class has:</p>
  
  <pre><code>private final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(this.getClass().getName());
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to set a logging level for all my classes, and be able to change it (i.e., have the setting in one place). Is there a way to do this, other that using a global <code>Level</code> variable and manually set each logger to it?</p>
