Not my call but adding addInitialRootLoggerHandlers() seems too much like a private detail that would be forever published as part of the public API.
I would rather have have a protected reportError added to LogManager and redirect all internal errors from directly calling System.err to that method. Then sub-classes could override that method and ignore internal errors generated by the super class.

Thanks again for the hints. I have a work-around that seems to work: https://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1821708 It feels a bit hacky. I'd still prefer to be able to override addInitialRootLoggerHandlers() as that strikes me as a cleaner solution. Cheers, Mark
