[logback-user] Logback always writes to the console

[Chad La Joie]

What type of application is this?  If having a logging configuration 
file on the classpath is acceptable that's probably the easiest 
mechanism.  If it's not then the code you have should work to load your 
file.

Again, though, if you something is attempting to log messages before 
this code is called than logback will use a default configuration which 
does log to the console.
