title: Does Java have an equivalent of c#'s Trace.WriteLine. I'm trying to write trace to console
body: <p>I want tracing to appear in my java console when I set a non-zero trace level.
  i.e. Java's equivalent of C#'s</p>
  <pre><code>Trace.WriteLine(&quot;hello&quot;);
  </code></pre>
  <p>Is there anything available like that? Can I get at &quot;deployment.trace&quot; at runtime? Is there an environment variable I can check?</p>
