Application start logging using logging configuration file

[SH4F33]

Hello everybody, Im trying to log my application start to a file using the -Djava.util.logging.config.file command.
Ive created a configuration file called logging.properties.

It has the following lines:

handlers=java.util.logging.FileHandler
.level=INFO
java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern = c:\myjini.log
java.util.logging.FileHandler.level=ALL
net.jini.loader.level=ALL

And in JBuilder, I have set the "VM Parameters" of my application to -Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:\JavaProjects\bb\classes\bb\logging.properties.

My classes are found in C:\JavaProjects\bb\classes\bb\ and the logging.properties file also is in the same directory.

When JBuilder launch my class,I can see no message being displayed in the message window. And if I look for the file c:\myjini.log, the file doesnt exist.

Here is how JBuilder launch my class:

C:\Borland\JBuilder2006\jdk1.5\bin\javaw -classpath "C:\JavaProjects\bb\classes;C:\Program Files\jini2_1\classes;C:\Borland\JBuilder2006\jdk1.5\lib\jconsole.jar;C:\Borland\JBuilder2006\jdk1.5\lib\htmlconverter.jar;C:\Borland\JBuilder2006\jdk1.5\lib\tools.jar;C:\Borland\JBuilder2006\jdk1.5\lib\dt.jar;C:\Borland\JBuilder2006\jdk1.5\jre\lib\rt.jar;C:\Borland\JBuilder2006\jdk1.5\jre\lib\plugin.jar;C:\Borland\JBuilder2006\jdk1.5\jre\lib\im\thaiim.jar;C:\Borland\JBuilder2006\jdk1.5\jre\lib\im\indicim.jar;C:\Borland\JBuilder2006\jdk1.5\jre\lib\ext\localedata.jar;C:\Borland\JBuilder2006\jdk1.5\jre\lib\ext\sunjce_provider.jar;C:\Borland\JBuilder2006\jdk1.5\jre\lib\ext\dnsns.jar;C:\Borland\JBuilder2006\jdk1.5\jre\lib\ext\sunpkcs11.jar;C:\Borland\JBuilder2006\jdk1.5\jre\lib\charsets.jar;C:\Borland\JBuilder2006\jdk1.5\jre\lib\deploy.jar;C:\Borland\JBuilder2006\jdk1.5\jre\lib\javaws.jar;C:\Borland\JBuilder2006\jdk1.5\jre\lib\jsse.jar;C:\Borland\JBuilder2006\jdk1.5\jre\lib\jce.jar"  -Djava.security.policy=C:\JavaProjects\bb\classes\bb\policy.all -Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:\JavaProjects\bb\classes\bb\logging.properties bb.test

Is there something wrong in the logging.properties file?
Thanks in advance.

I've never used Sun's Logging API (I use Log4J instead) so I couldn't say.

I do think this is more of a 'pure Java' question, though. If nobody helps you here, try reposting on forum269. Someone there will have the answers, I'm sure.
