A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
When a FileHandler is created, it always looks for properties starting with
java.util.logging.FileHandler...
using the statement FileHandler.class.getName()

JUSTIFICATION :
When building subclasses of FileHandler, it would be nice to define separate
properties for this subclass, e. g. another pattern, level, etc.
The class FileHandler should use getClass().getName() to determine the prefix of properties.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Consider a simple subclass of FileHandler:
com.foo.myapp.MyFileHandler

Then it should automatically read the properties
com.foo.myapp.MyFileHandler.pattern
com.foo.myapp.MyFileHandler.level

etc.
ACTUAL -
Consider a simple subclass of FileHandler:
com.foo.myapp.MyFileHandler

It always read the properties
java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern
java.util.logging.FileHandler.level

etc.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Build an own subclass of FileHandler and read the properties manually.
