[logback-user] What support is needed to run with logback.groovy configuration?

[Steve Cohen]

Yes, that is right.

I changed it to

def logdir = System.properties.getProperty('files.root')+"/logdir"

and it works.

there's probably a "groovier" way of handling that but I don't know what 
that is.

Perhaps the translator might be improved to handle such occurrences.
