This Handler subclass formats LogRecord objects and outputs the resulting string to the System.err output stream. When a ConsoleHandler is created, the various properties inherited from Handler are initialized using system-wide defaults obtained by querying named values with LogManager.getProperty( ). The table below lists these properties, the value passed to getProperty( ), and the default value used if getProperty( ) returns null. See Handler for further details.
