Description Chris Frost CLA 2011-07-15 09:46:25 EDT 
To recreate,
1. take a fresh build or web-server and start it.
2. Stop it and look in the logs, about 380 lines in.

See also bug 351533 which the fix to this bug may help.
Comment 2 Glyn Normington CLA 2011-07-19 12:02:14 EDT 
I checked the behaviour of Virgo 2.1.0.RELEASE and this also includes corresponding log entries such as:

[2011-07-19 16:11:17.745] system-artifacts             System.err              
                                         INFO: The APR based Apache Tomcat
Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments was
not found on the java.library.path:
.:/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/Extensions:/usr/lib/java

So closing this bug as working as designed. I will however check with a Tomcat expert to make sure Tomcat really is intending to write to System.err.
Comment 3 Glyn Normington CLA 2011-07-20 09:12:17 EDT 
The Tomcat behaviour is actually a behaviour of the JUL ConsoleHandler ([1]) which directs all log records to System.err, regardless of their level.
