In JDeveloper this MUST be specified in "Java Options" run parameter

# You can use a different file by specifying a filename

#LEVELS: INFO, WARNING
# "handlers" specifies a comma separated list of log Handler 
# classes.  These handlers will be installed during VM startup.
# Note that these classes must be on the system classpath.
# By default we only configure a ConsoleHandler, which will only
# show messages at the INFO and above levels.
handlers= java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler

# To also add the FileHandler, use the following line instead.
#handlers= java.util.logging.FileHandler, java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler

# Default global logging level.
# This specifies which kinds of events are logged across
# all loggers.  For any given facility this global level
# can be overriden by a facility specific level
# Note that the ConsoleHandler also has a separate level
# setting to limit messages printed to the console.

Jakarta Commons Logging

The official guide is here http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/guide.html

Set the log level
Place this two files in your classpath,
[commons-logging.properties]
org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog

[simplelog.properties]
org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.defaultlog=warn
#trace
#debug
#info
#warn
#error
#fatal

 

In your classpath

commons-logging-1.1.jar

log4j-1.2.13.jar

 

 

In your code
Log log = LogFactory.getLog(">");
log.error("Log prova");
