Hello all,

I have some comments:

##
## All log levels in one log file.
## By default debug level is switched off (commented).
##

# Group=Log levels
# Description=Assigns debug log messages to the specified log appender.
#log4j.logger.sonar-debug=DEBUG, psRootAppender

Editing commented lines is not supported by the webadmin (afaik) perhaps we 
should use a
different method of disabling/enabling loggers.

logDir=_LOGPATH_
Perhaps this should have a sensible default like:
logDir=${catalina.home} (ties the configuratio nto beeign tomcat specific 
though)
or
logDir=${user.home} (perhaps not the most ideal location but should work 
among al servlet
containers and *nix-like OS'es. (I'm not sure what value it would be under 
windows if it's
started by localservice.)

I'm also happy to see that the separated files setup isn't the default 
anymore.

And on a differend note:
anyway to fix the printing of the class that called the logging to be 
correct? if you use the
%F %L in the pattern it prints the LoggerComponent not the class calling the 
logger
component.

regards
