A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Trying to use the webstart product, which is great, but you
need to have everything packaged in a jar file.

Fair enough, but logging must either specify a file, or class.
You can't set the bootclasspath, so you can't use a class,
and if the webstart stuff is in "sandbox", you can't use a file.

A simple work around would be to use a URL instead of just a
file. I.e.

-Djava.util.logging.config.URL=jar:file:/config.jar!javalog.properties

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Try to set custom logging preferences in webstart application
2. Fail miserably

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
