A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
There is some missing features in java logging configuration.
 
JUSTIFICATION :
Convenience. Any user migrating from log4j would expect for these features, without having to write patch code.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Add logging.debug option as compared to log4j.debug property which enables the developer to see what has been loaded, if configuration has been found..
 

Add ability to find logging.properties file from classpath and not only from file system.

For the FileHandler, enable the usages of system properties. We would like to have the option of java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern = {log.name} . Right now only restricted configuration are enabled such as %h (home directory)...
