[slf4j-user] Logging to file with slf4j.Logger. Where do log file go?

[Tom Martin Norvang]

Thank you for the mail info. If you are asking about wich slf4j jar i placed
the slf4j-api-1.5.6.jar and slf4j-jdk14-1.5.6.jar at the root: c:\ alongside
the logback.xml. The classpath variable contains a dot (.) and a
....\jre\ext\QTJava.zip. So i am not sure if the . (dot) represents the root
directory og current disk or system disk where OS recide, i have os on E:
and another disk c:. But anyways i did add the jars under project properties
as external jars and the Test class compiles and runs without error, it just
that no log file appear anywhere.
