Class JMetalLogger

java.lang.Object

org.uma.jmetal.util.JMetalLogger

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class JMetalLogger
extends Object
implements Serializable

This class provides some facilities to manage loggers. One might use the static logger of this class or use its own, custom logger. Also, we provide the static method configureLoggers(File) for configuring the loggers easily. This method is automatically called before any use of the static logger, but if you want it to apply on other loggers it is preferable to call it explicitly at the beginning of your main() method.

Method Detail

configureLoggers

public static void configureLoggers(File propertyFile)
                             throws IOException

This method provides a single-call method to configure the Logger instances. A default configuration is considered, enriched with a custom property file for more convenient logging. The custom file is considered after the default configuration, so it can override it if necessary. The custom file might be provided as an argument of this method, otherwise we look for a file named "jMetal.log.ini". If no custom file is provided, then only the default configuration is considered.

Parameters:

propertyFile - the property file to use for custom configuration, null to use only the default configuration

Throws:

IOException
