log properties in var/log directory

[Hernan Cunico <hc...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,
I am playing around with the new builds. For "documentation" and testing 
purposes I normally clean the *logs* by just wiping out the content of 
the /log directory.

I found out (the hard way) there were some properties files there that I 
deleted too. Since this "easy" way to clean the logs is not that unusual 
in the field I would like to propose (for future improvement) moving the 
*/logs* directory with "just the logs" to the root of that assembly 
(either j2ee-jetty-server or j2ee-tomcat-server) and leave the property 
files in the var/log directory.

Cheers!
Hernan

It's not a bad idea to support rm -rf log/* but I don't think moving
stuff out of /var is the right answer.  I'd rather think of a better
place under /var to store the log config files.
