java.util.logging.Logger doesn't respect java.util.logging.Level?

Question

In plain Java SE 6 environment:

Logger l = Logger.getLogger(\"nameless\");
l.setLevel(Level.ALL);
l.fine(\"somemessage\");

Nothing shows up

Answer 1

Even though the Logger level is set to ALL, the ConsoleHandler (the default Handler on the logger) still has a default level of INFO. This comes from the default logging.properties in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib
