Below is a snippet of the log4j file I use.
Add this to your classpath / pom.xml: Group: "org.slf4j", Artifact:
"slf4j-log4j12", Version: "1.7.12"
Start the JVM with:
java -cp <whatver> -Dlog4j.debug
-Dlog4j.configuration=file:/some/where/local/log4j.xml
Right at the JVM starts you should see messages saying that log4j is
initializing (written to stdout), and then you will get log messages
written to both the file you specified and the console.

Post by Jeff RHi all,
I have a TextSecure server up and running. I'm well aware it's not
supported. But, can someone teach the village idiot of java how to log to a
file instead of the console? :)
