Я попытался пройти учебник по API ведения журнала Java:

www.vogella.com/articles/Logging/article.html

Но сгенерированные файлы пусты (протестированы в Netbeans, Eclipse, а также при запуске jar из cmd). Сообщения журнала отображаются только в консоли.

Ниже приведены файлы, используемые в проекте. В чем может быть причина такого поведения?

Проект: de.vogella.logger

  // This method is called for every log records

    // Bold any levels >= WARNING
    buf.append("");
    buf.append("");

      buf.append("");
      buf.append(rec.getLevel());
