Fails to start with non-descriptive message if <formatter /> tag is missing from a logger.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AS7-1477
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1477
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Logging
            Reporter: James Perkins
            Assignee: James Perkins
             Fix For: 7.0.1.Final


The error message for a missing <formatter /> tag needs to be more descriptive. If a formatter is required, run a validation test. Otherwise perform null checks.

Example:
09:53:28,326 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] MSC00001: Failed to start service jboss.logging.handler.CONSOLE: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.logging.handler.CONSOLE: Failed to start service
