Create **Log4J** logger:\

```
${:import(org.apache.log4j.Logger)}private static final Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(${enclosing_type}.class);
```

It both creates the Logger with a proper category and imports it.\
For those using SLF4J:\
${:import(org.slf4j.Logger,org.slf4j.LoggerFactory)}private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(${enclosing_type}.class);\
\
**Read file:**

```
${:import(java.nio.file.Files,          java.nio.file.Paths,          java.nio.charset.Charset,          java.io.IOException,          java.io.BufferedReader)}try (BufferedReader in = Files.newBufferedReader(Paths.get(${fileName:var(String)}),                                                 Charset.forName("UTF-8"))) {    String line = null;    while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {        ${cursor}    }} catch (IOException e) {    // ${todo}: handle exception}
```
