[logback-user] logback-classic 1.4.9 removes public method

[Ceki Gülcü]

Hi Felix,

The deprecated method in question was removed because it was preventing
the decoupling of logback initialization from JoranConfigurator. Copying
the method into the  Play framework should be a relatively easy exercise.

In any case, thank you for letting us know and apologies for the
inconvenience.

Best regards,
