The loggers and handlers each have their own level. The loggers control
the log records created but the handlers control what actually gets
printed out. So if your logger is creating messages at level FINE but
the handler's level is set to INFO you will not see those FINE messages.
If your logger's level is set to INFO it is only creating records for
INFO messages and even if your handler's level is set to FINE it never
gets messages other than INFO or less.
The logger levels currently are defaulted to INFO as is the console
handler. Once you change the console handler to FINEST it will print
out any thing that is FINEST or less. since the loggers are set to INFO
it only receives INFO level messages by default and therefore prints
them. If you set a logger to level FINE then those messages will get
printed out. If you then reset that logger level back to INFO then the
behavior goes back printing only INFO level messages.
I can set the default to FINE and if users want to see FINEST then they
can set that manually.
