Hello,
can you make me a pleasure and please deactivate the egit logging then distributed.

Or please tell me how to deactivate the logging output of egit.

I'm a plugin developer, too, and then I develop my plugin 99% of the logging output comes from egit and only 1% of the logging output is generated from my plugin during development time.

I have also to reformat my logging output to find my log messages in the console.

As you can see in the attached file, your log level is set to DEBUG.

Best Regards
Jan

EGit logs via the Eclipse logging framework. What you see is the logging from JGit. JGit does not set the logging level; this is set in your logging configuration. Perhaps you have a root logger set to debug?

JGit uses the slf4j logging API but doesn't install a logging implementation on its own.
Change configuration of the logging implementation you use and set severity for loggers org.eclipse.jgit.* to the level you are interested in.

e.g. for log4j:

log4j.appender.stderr=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stderr.Target=System.err
log4j.appender.stderr.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stderr.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
# root logger for jgit
log4j.logger.org.eclipse.jgit = ERROR
