Introduction

A small set of classes to extend standard JRE's java.util.logging package with practical and real-life cases, and make it suitable for production and industrial use.

Features

• usable and already used in several real-world production setups, yet without any impacting bug found
• optimized for space, speed and memory efficiency from the start on
• configured using standard j.u.l. properties
• barely documented with a sample properties file
• ConsoleHandler allows separate stdout / stderr outputs depending on message level (allows coloring errors with red in IDE like Eclipse and such)
• DailyRollingFileHandler is used to rotate and purge log files on a daily basis
• CustomFormatter formats log records from a user-given template, including % fields like those of Log4J (but simplified) and on a single line by default

Plans

• XML based configuration, with formal grammar and checking
• per-webapp configuration and log files in JavaEE environment
• zip / gzip / deflate compression of daily log files
• JDBC handler
• Syslog handler
