On a Unix-like platform, you can just write your log files to the / tmp directory which will be deleted on the next restart. You can use "${java.io.tmpdir}" in a configuration file to specify that in a platform-independent manner, but I do not believe that temporary directories get deleted automatically on Windows.

Or you can use a RollingFileAppender which would allow you to specify a maximum file size that a log file should be able grow to before being closed and renamed and specify the maximum number of old log files that should be preserved.
