Description Glyn Normington CLA 2011-07-21 10:37:14 EDT 
As noted in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=352212#c3, the JUL ConsoleHandler has the unfortunate property of redirecting all Tomcat logging output to System.err.

This causes users to think that something is broken when it's not. For example:

http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=rview&goto=699397#msg_699397

It has even confused committers, as in bug 352212!

We should consider using a better console handler in Virgo so that INFO logs are redirected to System.out and warnings and worse are redirected to System.err.
