If your stundents have trouble with the most basic part of programmging I would suggest that they should do more exercice to gain experience. Just by seeing "good code" doesn't teach them anything.

A couple of years ago I had a lot of fun solving problems (e.g. https://projecteuler.net/) with friends and to compare and discuss the solutions we've chosen.

The students can by now program OK in the small, but I feel they will benefit from some good examples regarding programming in the large.

Then log4j might be an option since people will probably use it someday anyway.

I'm going through the source code. It looks indeed well-written and structured. Its function is a bit difficult to catch the students' imagination, but I think I can make a good case for it.
