As of java 7 it is possible to specify a log format string with
SimpleFormatter.  You couldn't do that with Java 1.5 which is why
I wrote UsefulFormatter.

So you can change UsefulFormatter lines to:

java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter=java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter=uk.me.parabola.log.UsefulFormatter

and then provide a format string:

java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter.format=%4$s: %5$s%n

See 
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Formatter.html#syntax 
for the full list of formatting
options.
