title: Is there a command line option for setting the default log level in Java
body: <p>Can I do something along the lines of:</p>
  
  <pre><code>-Djava.util.logging.loglevel=FINE
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Obviously that doesn't work, but you get the idea.  Is there anything like that?  Or am I forced to create a properties file?</p>
