[wildfly-dev] Re: Removing the logging.properties Configuration File

Hello James, Would it also resolve https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFCORE-6350 issue? I'm asking because JDK 21 will enter Rampdown Phase One next week on Thursday, 8 June. If the problem is in the JDK then we should report the problem to OpenJDK as soon as possible.
