How to suppress platform logger output

[Werner Lehmann]

Hi,

I'd like to use one of the Bindings.select* methods but can't really 
accept the tons of stderr output it generates for null steps. According 
to this ticket...

[#RT-35957] Bindings class spits out a lot of unneeded log messages
https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-35957

... 8u20 resolves this by logging on the FINE level. But how can I 
suppress this output then? As far as I know the platform logger logs to 
stderr if JDK logging is not used - and we are on log4j. Which means I 
get FINE logging on stderr which does not help much.
