There are the following system properties available where you can configure log levels of loggers and initialisation logic.

  • java.util.logging.manager
    • You can define your own LogManager
  • java.util.logging.config.class
    • Custom logging configuration as a Class file
  • java.util.logging.config.file
    • Custom logging configuration as configuration file

The LogManager documentation has more information on them available, http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/logging/LogManager.html
