[jira] Commented: (VELOCITY-85) Logging too verbose when used with Log4J

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-85?page=comments#action_12368970 ] 

Nathan Bubna commented on VELOCITY-85:
--------------------------------------

I've been helping people with Velocity problems for years.  This startup stream has rarely been a part of that.   Further, even should we claim the usefulness of it is in debugging, then that just affirms that most of it should be debug level logging.

And personally, i'm trying to bring log output under control in our apps at work.  I'm going to try to clean up some of this and lower levels where appropriate.  :)

> When using using Log4J to handle Velocity logging, many of the internal logging 
> messages generated by the VelocityEngine are too verbose. Below is some sample
