keep getting INFO in red for spring when running in eclipse eg: org.springframework.context.support.

Hi everyone,
im currently developing a java program which is run by eclipse and implement with spring framewrok.

And I'm currently facing some problem with spring. when i run the program , there are always few lines of INFO from spring in red:

05-Sep-2011 17:44:41 org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext prepareRefresh
INFO: Refreshing org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext@dd5b: startup date [Mon Sep 05 17:44:41 SGT 2011]; root of context hierarchy
05-Sep-2011 17:44:41 org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader loadBeanDefinitions
INFO: Loading XML bean definitions from class path resource [beans.xml]
05-Sep-2011 17:44:41 org.springframework.core.io.support.PropertiesLoaderSupport loadProperties
INFO: Loading properties file from class path resource [beans.properties]
05-Sep-2011 17:44:41 org.springframework.core.io.support.PropertiesLoaderSupport loadProperties
INFO: Loading properties file from class path resource [pw.properties]
05-Sep-2011 17:44:41 org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory preInstantiateSingletons
INFO: Pre-instantiating singletons in org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory@691f36: defining beans [placeholderConfig,Dao,DBBean]; root of factory hierarchy
05-Sep-2011 17:44:41 net.CodeEnhancement.JdbcDao createDataSource

The program will still be running after the red line print out and will always finish running the program successfully.

anyone has any idea on how to remove the red lines?

any help will be much appreciated .

Thanks !

I guess that logger needs to be configured.

All those RED lines belongs to your Logger (may be log4j, slf4j or something similar). you need to add configuration for your loggers.
eg. for log4j you need to create "log4j.properties" file somewhere in classpath (best way: use source folder with name 'resources')
the minimum contents required for above file is:

# Set root category priority to INFO and its only appender to CONSOLE.
log4j.rootCategory=INFO, CONSOLE


# CONSOLE is set to be a ConsoleAppender using a PatternLayout.
log4j.appender.CONSOLE=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.Threshold=INFO
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout.ConversionPattern=- %m%n

As far as your program is running properly, you can ignore all these red lines. but if it fails, then you have to study all these lines to get exact reason.

AFAIK "rootCategory" is marked 'deprecated', so it would be better not to use it.
