After several hours trying to configure different logging implementations I figured out how to do it. I explain what I did, in order to help others in the same situation, wanting to configure a very simple logging system in a file, instead that logging in the console.
Procedure: - Information from: https://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html - IDE: IntelliJ - Specific logging implementation: logback - I added the following jars through maven: logback-core-1.2.3.jar, logback-classic-1.2.3.jar, slf4j-api-1.7.24.jar - In my src directory I added the file: logback.xml with the following content: <configuration> <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender"> <encoder> <pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n</pattern> </encoder> </appender> <appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender"> <file>myApp.log</file> <encoder> <pattern>%date %level [%thread] %logger{10} [%file:%line] %msg%n</pattern> </encoder> </appender> <root level="debug"> <appender-ref ref="FILE" /> <!--appender-ref ref="STDOUT" /--> </root> </configuration> - The logs get stored in the file myApp.log - Uncommenting the line <!--appender-ref ref="STDOUT" /--> would also print the log in the console. - If you want to log more information besides the one being logged by bitcoinj you can do it declaring a new variable in the class that you want to write the logs static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(<<Name of the class>>.class); - When you want to log some info doing something like: LOG.trace("Hello World!"); I hope this helps. Kind regards!
