Description
Caller sensitive methods Logger.getLogger, Logger.getAnonymousLogger currently throw an undocumented NullPointerException if they are called from JNI and there is no Java frame on the stack.
Comments
Workaround: use an auxiliary class in order to call Logger.getLogger instead of calling Logger::getLogger directly from JNI.
