log4j Configuration

Here is the basic log4j configuration I use with all the basics. Hope this helps.

	package com.claytantor.log4j.playground;
	import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
	/**
	* Created by cgra12 on 8/24/15.
	*/
	public class HelloLog4j {
	static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(HelloLog4j.class.getName());
	public static void main(String[] args){
	log.debug("Hello log4j");
	}
	}
