[D] Java CRaC support on static defined Loggers [logging-log 4j2]

GitHub user david-ic3 created a discussion: Java CRaC support on static defined Loggers

What is the best practice to support Log4J when using [CRaC](https://docs.azul.com/crac/)  ?

In our code loggers are defined statically (yes this is the problem but ideally we do not change this) : 

`public static final Logger GENERAL = Logger.getLogger("icCube.general");`

The CRaC supported by :

```
        @Override
        public void beforeCheckpoint(Context<? extends Resource> context) throws Exception
        {
            LoggerContext loggerContext = (LoggerContext) LogManager.getContext(false);
            loggerContext.stop();
        }

        @Override
        public void afterRestore(Context<? extends Resource> context) throws Exception
        {
            CdLog4jUtils.configure(xml); // here we reconfigure Log4J with a conf. file, fine

            LoggerContext loggerContext = (LoggerContext) LogManager.getContext(false);
            loggerContext.start();
        }
```

Running now our code : 

```
This works :  Logger.getLogger("icCube.general").info(message);
This does nothing : GENERAL.info(message);   // the static field
```

After restore the static logger are not bind to the 'new' Logger. Is there a way to rebind/reset the loggers or a best practice ?
