Jar file: log file is not created!

Question

Hi, I create a log file with these instructions:
//logger
          FileHandler fh = new FileHandler(LOG_FILE,true); //append mode
          fh.setFormatter(new SimpleFormatter());
          logger = Logger.getLogger(this.getClass().getName());
          logger.addHandler(fh);It works well as long I execute it normally, but when I create a .jar file and put this logger class inside logger file is not created..how come?

Hi, I create a log file with these instructions:The code extract creates a Logger object, sure, but does that mean it creates a log file? The log file creation could be deferred until the first usage of the logger...
It works well as long I execute it normally,Let's clarify: do you mean, when executing from your IDE, or when executing via a command line?
but when I create a .jar file and put this logger class inside logger file is not created..how come?Let's clarify: do you mean, when you execute the same code packaged in a jar file?
The most likely issue is configuration: apparently the various ways in which you run your program use different logging configurations.
