How to correct stacktrace output in log file?

[big-j]

This is probably a trivial question, but I can't find any information in the documentation.

I am running JBoss AS 7 on Windows and have noticed that the stacktraces present in the log file are not Windows terminated ("\r\n").  Instead they use "\n" which is the *nix standard.

This makes it very difficult to read the log file in notepad.exe as the stacktrace appears on one line.

I am aware of other editors such as Notepad++ etc, but using these is not an option.

How do I configure JBoss to use "\r\n" for stacktrace output in the log file?

It was a bug in JBoss Logmanager which has been fixed in a later version https://github.com/jboss-logging/jboss-logmanager/commit/1157ae88ae9da30486fd5a80b9f8b584ccb40861

You could try using the latest released WildFly (previously known as JBoss AS) version Downloads

Thanks.  I am not sure if upgrading will be an acceptable solution, I will have to check.

Do you know the related bug ticket (or how I can find out)?

Looking at the commit, I don't think there was a JIRA created. Let's wait for James who might know whether it's possible to just upgrade certain jars to workaround this issue.

There was no JIRA filed against it. It was just something I spotted and fixed. I'm not sure why it didn't make it into the 1.2 branch. You should be able to switch the jboss-logmanager JAR with a newer version though. The 1.4.3.Final should work, but if you're more comfortable doing a single version jump 1.3.2 has the commit in it as well.
