Bug 18462 System.err gets overriden to output to System.out
Reported: 2003-03-28 12:35:32 | Status: resolved fixed

I am using Eclipse to do my development and I am running tomcat 4.1.24 from within eclipse. One of the nice features of eclipse is that anything you display with System.out comes out in blue and anything you send to System.err is displayed in red. However when tomcat is running Catalina overrides System.err and makes it point to System.out. This is very inconvinient because its much harder to search for severe error messages in a list of millions of trivial ones.
