How to log just plain text but not xml while using util.logging?

Question

i tried the following code to log simple messages in my app.However it logs the messages in xml. I don't want this and only plain text will be enough so what should i do? e.g. using some formatters?
import java.util.logging.*;
class LoggerTest{
     public static Logger logger =Logger.getLogger("demo.test");
     public static  void main(String args[]) throws Exception{
          FileHandler fh = new FileHandler("log.xml",true);
          logger.addHandler(fh);
          for(int i=0;i<100;i++){
               logger.log(java.util.logging.Level.INFO,"appanded");
}thx!

shows that if you make a properties file (you can name it logging.properties or whatever) with at least the line
java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter= java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
and then run with
java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=logging.properties LoggerTest
you will get what you want.
You can set this property programmatically (actually the SBIS is deprecated, but I am too lazy to do the StringReader class right here):
String my_prop = "java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter=java.util.logg
ing.SimpleFormatter" ;
Properties props = new Properties (System.getProperties());
props.load( new StringBufferInputStream( my_prop));
System.setProperties(props);
but you would need to set the property before you create the formatter.
