[logback-user] Project Can't Find logback.xml file

[Roger Spears]

Hello,

Thank you for your suggestion of add the ClassLoader.  I don't know why 
I didn't think of that.  Maybe it's because I'm fairly new to Java.

I added the following two lines to my HelloWorld.java class:

     String URL = "logback.xml";
     System.out.println(ClassLoader.getSystemResource(URL));

The output I receive on the console looks like this:

file:/Users/roger/NetBeansProjects/HelloWorld/build/classes/logback.xml
12:30:01.762 [main] DEBUG helloworld - Hello world.

When I open the logback.xml file that is listed in the console output, 
it looks exactly like the custom logback.xml file I created.

The problem still exists that it's not picking up on the custom pattern 
I have in logback.xml.  That pattern looks like this:

<pattern>%date %n [%thread] %level %logger{35} - %n %msg</pattern>


I would have expected to see the date followed by a jump down to a new 
line followed by [main] followed by a jump down to a new line and etc. 
etc etc.

Am I wrong to think logback uses %n as new line characters?

My experience has been with log4j and %n generates the newline in its 
pattern.

Thanks again,
Rogert
