Akka application packaging with logger

[salex89]

Sbt-native-packager version: 0.8.0-M2
sbt version: 0.13.5
Akka version: 2.3.9
I'm having issues configuring the logging with the akka_application packaging. In my IDE everything works fine, and when the application is run with activator run. But when packaged, the logger configuration is ignored and everything is set to DEBUG, and used some other format, different from what I specified. Also, I see messages about multiple slf4j bindings present. I'm using akka-slf4j and logback (logback.xml is set in the classpath).

To be clear, I first run the sbt stage task, and then run the generated bash script.

Some configuration missing?

Maybe not the right place to ask, but is there any pro/con between using akka_application packaging or just activator run in production?

From applicaiton.conf:

akka {
   loggers = ["akka.event.slf4j.Slf4jLogger"]
   loglevel = "DEBUG"
   logging-filter = "akka.event.slf4j.Slf4jLoggingFilter"
}

logback.xml

<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
    <!-- encoders are assigned the type
         ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder by default -->
    <encoder>
        <pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n</pattern>
    </encoder>
</appender>

<root level="warn">
    <appender-ref ref="STDOUT"/>
</root>

build.sbt:

packageArchetype.akka_application
libraryDependencies += "com.typesafe.akka" %% "akka-slf4j" % "2.3.9" % "compile"

libraryDependencies += "ch.qos.logback" % "logback-classic" % "1.0.13"

//Other dependencies
libraryDependencies ~= {
  _.map(_.exclude("org.slf4j", "slf4j-log4j12"))
}   

//~~ SBT native packager settings ~~//
mainClass in Compile := Some("com.nissatech.mca.worker.Launcher")

Update: This could be close, if there is no interest. I solved it by using the native packager 1.0.0 and the JavaApp Archetype.

Sweet. I would have suggested using 1.0.0 and if not possible 0.8.0.
