[logback-user] Logback.groovy configuration results in java.lang.VerifyError exception.

Mon Feb 28 11:27:53 CET 2011

Namasthe Ceki,

Yes the offending package was json-lib 2.1.

I removed it from the class path. The logback.groovy configuration
worked!

Thanks for the help.

I suggest this issue be put as a faq. I spent nearly 5 days figuring as
to how to use logback.groovy !

Regards
Rathna

Groovy version 1.7.8 is fine. However, your project is probably *also*
pulling in an older version of Groovy. See
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GROOVY-3802 which looks similar to your
problem.
