Most GeoServer logging conventions are directly inherited from GeoTools

, see GEOT:5.1.3 Logging for more information.

In general, most programmer level logging should be at FINE and less. INFO should be messages to users of things going on, and kept to a minimum. FINE is good for things that happen once per request, FINER for repeated actions.

Do not use any System.out calls

System.out calls are much harder to turn off. There should always be a logger available, and if there's not just add a standard one.
