Is it possible to override/set log level of java.util.logging.Logger by passing an JVM option on start of the application?

Try http://stackoverflow.com/questions/470430/java-util-logging-logger-doesnt-respect-java-util-logging-level. You can get a clue from that. – namalfernandolk Mar 19 '13 at 08:51

There are the following system properties available where you can configure log levels of loggers and initialisation logic.

java.util.logging.manager
- You can define your own LogManager
java.util.logging.config.class
- Custom logging configuration as a Class file
java.util.logging.config.file
- Custom logging configuration as configuration file

The LogManager documentation has more information on them available, http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/logging/LogManager.html
