This may not be doable with the current template system, but I'll ask anyway. It would be nice if when using the logging code templates to add a log message to a java file (which requires a static logger), a static logger is automatically added if not present. The static logger should be added using the defined "logr" or "logbr" templates as appropriate, and the IDE's formatting rules could be used for determining where in the code the static logger is inserted.

This would likely require two template system enhancements, which could open the door to far more powerful (and often simpler) templates--the ability to call another template from the current template, and the ability to branch based on a condition (in this case acting only if a static logger is not yet present).
