Thats the desired behaviour ;) Probably the best thing you could do would be
to add a new LogTarget such as
public class MyFileOutputLogTarget
extends DefaultOutputLogTarget
{
public void setFilename( final String filename )
throws IOException
{
final File file = new File( filename );
final File parent = file.getAbsoluteFile().getParentFile();
if( !parent.exists() ) parent.mkdirs();
//Next line is different and tells system to append
m_output = new FileWriter( filename, true );
}
}
Cheers,
