Logging level under maven surefire

Question

Hi,

I'm unable to adjust java logging's logging level. I'm using maven surefire (mvn test), and trying to adjust from the default INFO to e.g. FINEST.

I have logging.properties file under src/test/resources/logging.properties

after compile, i see under target/test-classes, i see a logging.properties file with the intended config:

java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level=FINEST

javax.enterprise.system.container.ejb.level=FINE

...

however the console output from glassfish only have INFO / SEVERE level messages.

Where did I go wrong? or is this another pain in the butt thing with maven?

Looks like its not possible yet under maven?:

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2570

Also when I setup the pom to use a custom java.util.logging properties file as follows:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.4.2</version>
  <configuration>
    <systemProperties>
      <property>
        <name>java.util.logging.config.file</name>
        <value>${project.build.directory}/test-classes/logging.properties</value>
      </property>
    </systemProperties>
   ...

logging disappears...

You need to specifiy your handlers in the logging file

handlers = java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler, java.util.logging.FileHandler

then it should work
