The reason seem to be (but I haven't been able to confirm as I have been busy 
in other matters)
that the Task has a default constructor (that I use). To use the 'log()' 
method, I'd need to
invoke a constructor with the node name I want to use.
Smthg like :

<snip>
class MyTask extends Task
{
  public MyTask()
  {
    super("com.cpy_name.pckg.MyTask");
  }
  ...
 
}
</snip>

If that is the case, the constructor could use the following definition :
logger = Logger.getLogger(this.getClass());

\T,

Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. 
Good programmers write code that humans can understand.
