What is the easiest way to get started with log4j configuration?

A:
Put a file named log4j.properties in the root of your classpath:
log4j.rootLogger = ALL, Console
log4j.appender.Console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.Console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.Console.layout.conversionPattern=%m%n
Nothing else is needed. Log4j will discover it and configure itself.

It's worth reading the manual (at the risk of stating the obvious). There are a ton of configuration options, and once you learn and understand what's possible, then you can implement some very powerful logging systems.

The absolute easiest way is to visit the log4j pages at apache and read the short introduction. They have a sample log4j.configuration ready to be copied and pasted.
