I've removed this again. Having a default log4j.xml for tests is stupid because of the following reasons. 1) log4j.test.dir is not always set - e.g. impossible to run the tests under eclipse 2) you don't get the logging when you look the test reports in the target folder 3) turning off console logging means you have to hunt around for different information related to the test instead of searching in one place View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4251481#...
