How to get java to be logged when run from a package?

Question

I have a java file called "Ares.jar" that runs every 5 minutes through scheduled windows tasks, batch calls:

java -jar Ares.jar >> Ares.log

I don't see the error output, is there a way to make errors (system.err.println / exception.printStackTrace ();) go to the file?

Thank.

java -jar Ares.jar > Ares.log 2>&1

The second part of this command redirects stderr to stdout, ensuring that both appear in the same file.

If you want regular logs and error logs in separate files, just use:

java -jar Ares.jar > Ares.log 2>Ares.error.log
