Java log in plain text

java, java.util.logging, logging

Solution

You need to set a Formatter on your Handler. Either create your own or use the SimpleFormatter

Problem

I redirected Java Logger to log in file using following code: ``` Handler handler = new FileHandler("test.log", LOG_SIZE, LOG_ROTATION_COUNT); Logger.getLogger("").addHandler(handler); ``` but it logs in XML format. I want to be exactly like output (i.e. plain text). How can I do that?
