How do I turn off/change the log level of dozer during unit tests with standard java logging?

Question

We are using dozer, and every time a test runs it will create an instance of the dozer mapping (or so it looks, I'm not a hard core dozer guy). This gives a lot of junk in the console when running unit tests (see below). How do we turns this off? Completely off.

We're using Maven as build tool, so a property file would be preferable. I have tried to load logging.properties without any luck (we're also using java.util.logging.Logger)

I have tried to look at this (using programmatic approach), but we have many tests so added to all of them is close to impossible.

Any tips/tricks is much appreciated!

Example of the output - line numbers run into thousands, which makes the build slow:

2640 [main] INFO org.dozer.DozerBeanMapper - Trying to find xml mapping file: dozerServicesEjb/dozerBeanMapper.xml

2642 [main] INFO org.dozer.DozerBeanMapper - Using URL [file:/C:/development/core-services/services.ejb/target/classes/dozerServicesEjb/dozerBeanMapper.xml] to load custom xml mappings

Put a log4j.properties file in src/test/resources that disables the org.dozer logger.

log4j.logger.org.dozer=OFF
