I also tried adding the class to the encoder. That didn't work either.

Something else that's weird. I imported Tony's project to my Netbeans and it stated it had reference issues. It could not find logback-core-1.0.0.jar, logback-classic-1.0.0.jar and sl4j-api-1.6.4.jar. I know I can resolve this, I'll just point them towards my versions of those jar's. BUT, for giggles, I ran the project with the unresolved reference issues and it displayed the same thing on the console:

19:57:35.609 [main] INFO helloworld.HelloWorld - hello world!

I just imported that project into another machine, updated the JAR references (as they're not in the same location on the other machine), and ran it. I see this:

run:
2012-01-20 21:10:50,277

FOOBAR [main] INFO helloworld.HelloWorld -
hello world!BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)

I'm not sure if that's a clue to anything or if that's the expected behavior since I have those files in my classpath.

Try my exact steps to create that project:

1. Create a new Java project in Netbeans (or Eclipse...same steps here work).

2. Create a class named "HelloWorld", and copy this code into it:

package helloworld;

import org.slf4j.Logger;

import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

public class HelloWorld {

private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(HelloWorld.class);

public static void main(String[] args) {

LOG.info("hello world!");

}

3. Create a file named logback.xml in the src directory (do not put it under src/helloworld or any other subdirectory). Copy the following into the file:

<pattern>%date %n FOOBAR [%thread] %level %logger{35} - %n %msg</pattern>

</encoder>

</appender>

<appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />

</root>

</configuration>

You can actually put logback.xml into any directory specified by the run.classpath property in ${project.dir}/nbproject/project.properties. We used src here only because it's quick and easy.

4. Build and run the project.
