/**

 * This {@code Handler} publishes log records to {@code System.err}.

 * By default the {@code SimpleFormatter} is used to generate brief summaries.

 * <p>

 * <b>Configuration:</b>

 * By default each {@code ConsoleHandler} is initialized using the following

 * {@code LogManager} configuration properties where {@code <handler-name>}

 * refers to the fully-qualified class name of the handler.

 * If properties are not defined

 * (or have invalid values) then the specified default values are used.

 * <ul>

 * <li>   &lt;handler-name&gt;.level

 *        specifies the default level for the {@code Handler}

 *        (defaults to {@code Level.INFO}). </li>

 * <li>   &lt;handler-name&gt;.filter

 *        specifies the name of a {@code Filter} class to use

 *        (defaults to no {@code Filter}). </li>

 * <li>   &lt;handler-name&gt;.formatter

 *        specifies the name of a {@code Formatter} class to use

 *        (defaults to {@code java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter}). </li>

 * <li>   &lt;handler-name&gt;.encoding

 *        the name of the character set encoding to use (defaults to

 *        the default platform encoding). </li>

 * </ul>

 * <p>

 * For example, the properties for {@code ConsoleHandler} would be:

 * <ul>

 * <li>   java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level=INFO </li>

 * <li>   java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter=java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter </li>

 * </ul>

 * <p>

 * For a custom handler, e.g. com.foo.MyHandler, the properties would be:

 * <ul>

 * <li>   com.foo.MyHandler.level=INFO </li>

 * <li>   com.foo.MyHandler.formatter=java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter </li>

 * </ul>

 *

 * @since 1.4
