Is it possible to configure logger to print no timestamp?

Hi programmers, I know that I can modify the source to do that, but I'd prefer to have an option in the logging.properties. It makes life much easier when comparing the contents of two log files. Gerd

As of java 7 it is possible to specify a log format string with SimpleFormatter. You couldn't do that with Java 1.5 which is why I wrote UsefulFormatter. So you can change UsefulFormatter lines to: java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter=java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter=uk.me.parabola.log.UsefulFormatter and then provide a format string: java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter.format=%4$s: %5$s%n See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Formatter.html#syntax for the full list of formatting options. ..Steve

Hi Steve, perfect, exactly what I needed :-) Gerd

On Unix you can use sed to remove the timestamps: sed -e 's|.*:.. ||g' mkgmap.log Thorsten -- Thorsten Kukuk, Senior Architect SLES & Common Code Base SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg)
