[slf4j-user] Log4j.properties?

[Robert Elliot]

You are using slf4j-simple, not log4j as your logging system - it doesn't take any config, it just prints all logs of info or above to the command line.

If you want to use log4j as your logging system, take log4j-over-slf4j-1.6.1.jar and slf4j-simple-1.6.1.jar off your classpath and instead add slf4j-logj12.jar.  Now SLF4J will direct all your logging to log4j so your log4j.properties should work.
