pointing the logging system to a properties file works with -Djava.util.logging.config.file=logging.properties
HOWEVER
if you have this contents for example:
handlers=java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level=FINE
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
it will give the error:
"Can't set level for java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler"
This is simply because there is a SPACE after "level=FINE ". Really!? That's terrible. Back to log4j or maybe logback.
A Java developer's place to write down things that were somewhat obscure or difficult to piece together, that were worth remembering and writing run-on sentences about.
Thank you for this tip! I would have never guessed to look for a trailing space.
