This is mentioned in the following article: http://wiki.ops4j.org/display/paxlogging/How+to+use+Pax+Logging One option would be to simply open the bundle and modify the file by hand, but of course this would be a maintenance headache as new Pax Logging versions were released. Placing the same file in a fragment would not work, as the bundle class path is searched before any fragment class paths. Having said all this, there may be a way to do this that I'm not aware of. You may want to ask on the Pax mailing lists, and please do let me know if you find a good solution. --- Patrick Hi Phil,

I'm assuming you've installed Pax ConfMan as well. BTW, if you're targeting Felix you may just want to start with the Apache Karaf server. It's basically Felix plus some standard services, including Pax Logging. --- Patrick Hi Niko,

Since this is my first osgi application i do have some problems. I want to use apache felix with pax logging. I tried to start the pax-logging-service with felix, but it fails to start. So in general: Waht do i have to do? Include pax-logging-api in my bundles where i want to log and start pax-logging-service (can i build the service for felix? Should it start up without problems? Can i wrap the service jar for felix`?) Can someone please help me? Greetings, Niko I am trying to use pax logging in my osgi application.

Currently together with the fileinstall bundle that also feeds configurations to an CM available. It also has the benefit, that you can change the config during runtime and it will be updated. I am just starting Pax-Logging at ST 1 to be sure to capture every logging message. It would be nice if Eclipse would not write its own log file anymore. All the log informations should go to one log destination. Using the pax-logging service you can also attach to the eclipse logger and feed the Eclipse log entries to your logfile. Question is, how does one disable the creation of the Eclipse logfile? I am using pax-logging since over a year now.
