Stop displaying logger output to console from dependencies

I have a few Maven dependencies in my Java project that clutter the console output with redundant log info. I want to disable such logging.

Setting the additivity property to false might help. But could not use it properly.

I am looking for a log4j.xml config that will only print log output (warn, error, ...) from my project and not from any dependencies.

Solution

  • It looks like the log4j2.xml was overriding all other configs. As of now, I have switched that dependency off. Maybe log4j2 > log4j hence the issue. Also, XML gets a higher priority over properties as I have seen somewhere.
