It shouldn't. Maybe you are not fetching the logger correctly. How you
instantiate the logger in the Main class? It should be:
Logger.getLogger( "loggingexample.Main" )
or
Logger.getLogger( this.getClass() )
The latter is only valid if "loggingexample.Main" is exactly the FQCN of MAIN
(normally there is a a toplevel domain in front, i.e.
"com.loggingexample.Main").
Try it with annother appender (maybe FileAppender) for the
"loggingexample.Main"-Logger. So you can see which logger outputs the event.
