default-jul

The most default JUL (java util logging) wrapper implementation, no configs, just import and go.
Currently console and file logging are available with four the most essential log levels (info, debug, warning and error).

NOTE: This small lib is only for local projects or local debug purposes

Instantiate LoggingHelper

package pt.jorgenssen;

import pt.jorgenssen.defaultjul.LoggingHelper;

public class Main {

    private static final LoggingHelper LOGGER = LoggingHelper.getLogger(Main.class.getName());

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        LOGGER.debug("Print debug message");
        LOGGER.info("Print info message");
        LOGGER.warn("Print warning message");
        LOGGER.error("Print error message");
    }
}

File log (placed at project's root directory)

Possible configuration

For now, it is possible to modify two parameters: log file path and log line format. To do it you need to put logging.properties file to your resources directory with parameters defined:

java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern = path/to/your/log/file.log
java.util.logging.CustomFormatter.format = %2$-7s %1$tF %1$tT %3$s %4$s - %6$s %n%7$s
