Q: When I run my tests, I get an endless list of INFO messages scrolling by on my screen. How do I turn these off?
A: This is logging on the INFO level. To customize logging you can edit the file log4j.properties that is in the lib dir. E.g. Replace "info" with "off" to suppress any output or "warn" to at least get a message when something is wrong.
