Logback.xml and application launch from JetBrains IDEA IDE

When I develop an application in IDEA, where should I put logback.xml to influence the application?

It seems that when you start / debug IDEA, don't make any jars and don't call Maven to create something. Does it execute main () directly from the compiled * .class file? If so, where can I put logback.xml so that it has an effect?

logback.xml should be available in the root directory of your CLASSPATH. When you start the application, the full CLASSPATH is printed from the very beginning. When I put logback.xml in /src/main/resources (Maven project), it works without any problems. Also, having it in /src/test/resources with the name logback-test.xml has a presence.

Just run:

 getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("/logback.xml");

And look if it will return anything or null .

If you are not working with a Maven project, open the project structure ( Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S ) and add to the modules selection folder containing logback.xml and mark it as sources (blue icon).
