Issue

The log4j.properties settings seem to be ignored when running mvn camel:run on a project created by one of the Camel archetypes. Setting the rootLogger or org.apache.camel logger to DEBUG has no effect, only INFO level log statements are logged to the console when using mvn camel:run or mvn camel:embedded.

Resolution

Add log4j as a dependency to your project, after which the logging will be properly configured by the log4j.properties file. For example, add:

<dependency>
    <groupId>log4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.14</version>
</dependency>

to your pom.xml.

Root Cause

The project does not have log4j as a dependency, and so the default Java logging mechanism is being used.
