Furthermore the last app server that still required Java 5 has finally been EOL'd itself at the end of 2011. This means that Liferay 6.2 is now free to adopt Java 6. ...

I changed their portlets to log to both the console like normal, and also to log to it's own file. After looking around a bit, I see this is a somewhat common quesiton in...
