[logback-user] logback.groovy configuration throws errors

[Tompi Mat]

Hi

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply!  What I don't quite understand at
this point is users are encouraged to use them or not.

It looks like logback.groovy files are in the way, anyhow - I am not
explicitly executing it but it is picked up by the HelloWorld.groovy
just to throw the error I mentioned.

I much prefer groovy DSL to XML but I have not found any clues as to how
logback.groovy is to be used and it puzzles me what the benefit of the
XML->groovy translators are?

Thanks a lot

Tamas
