Umh, I know what the purpose of the logging.properties file is (I've written the java.util.logging implementation). What bothers me is the comment in the patch: "Most of the defaults are compiled in, so this file is fairly minimal." The logging framework should assign default values for _all_ properties when the logging.properties file is not present, or if it is empty. If the logging.properties was actually needed, this would indicate a bug in the java.util.logging implementation. While adding the logging.properties file would be a workaround, I'd rather like to fix the bug. Do you have some code that does not work without the patch? -- Sascha Sascha Brawer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.dandelis.ch/people/brawer/ _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
