If you want to configure logging using the properties file that is shipped with your JVM, use a text editor to modify the properties file in your JVM. Typically, this file is named logging.properties and is located in the JRE/lib subdirectory of your JVM. The JRE looks for this file when it is loading.

You can also specify which properties file to use by setting the java.util.logging.config.file system property. At a command prompt, enter:

java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=properties_file

where properties_file is the name of the properties file you want to load.
