The 7.1 API uses log4j for logging, in fact it forces it on you. I wish BMC had taken more care when looking at the pile of dependencies. In stead of using a heavyweight logging framework like log4j they could also have used the standard java.util.logging. Even if you _do not_ want any logging for your trivial API program, you'd still have to configure log4j either from code or from a configuration file. If not, your API will spit out the default "log4j is not initialized" message. Even if I did want logging through log4j, I'm now tied to the version that BMC provides for their API, which is a bad thing to me.
Anyway, you have to take a look at log4j configuration at http://logging.apache.org/log4j/, there are various ways to configure loggers, from code or from configuration.
