Question

java.util.logging.Logger override (overwrites) the file data instead of add to end of file.

Is this correct? should I create 1 file for each time I initialize the app and the log system?

If not, how do I set it to write to the end of the file?

Answer 1

java.util.logging.FileHandler.append=true

The append specifies whether the FileHandler should append onto any existing files (defaults to false).

There are other properties you have control over like the size of log files and how many to cycle through but I think that property is the one you are concerned with.
