Since SLF4J is just a facade it doesn't support any configuration. > I would be happy to hear from others how they manage logging > (especially in JUnit tests) or any suggestions that might help... I don't use JUL if I have a choice. With logback you can just add a logback-test.xml to src/test/resources and you're set. For JUL configuring argLine in the surefire plugin might be an option. You could also put a MethodRule or some setup method an abstract super class for all tests that set up JUL.
