James Perkins commented on LOGMGR-205:
--------------------------------------

That's a good point. I was just using a fairly coupled {{java.nio.file.WatchService}}, but launching it from in a new thread. For logging it would be more difficult to use a shared thread pool because it's one of the first things, besides modules, configured. However if we come up with a real solution for LOGMGR-177 then that will be less of an issue.

> It could be useful to add a utility to watch a {{logging.properties}} file for changes and reconfigure the log manager based on these changes.
> As a test I've created an [example|https://gist.github.com/jamezp/68cd45982ba2b75aa2e95465695ec061] which could use some better options for removing no longer used configured objects.
