I'm struggling getting a custom formatter to play under hpi:run.
I can pass my own logging.properties on the command line: mvn hpi:run -Djava.util.logging.config.file=my-logging.properties but my formatter doesn't get used. I can switch on/off the built-in XMLFormatter. This proves that my-logging.properties are active: java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = org.example.MyFormatter # java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.XMLFormatter I suspect this is similar to this problem: http://jenkins.361315.n4.nabble.com/how-to-set-logging-properties-td3479817.html But I can't figure out how to make my formatter class visible. Adding it to the Jenkins war doesn't do the trick here. Has anyone solved this? Thanks! -Max
