Bootstrap error information is only logged at DEBUG level

I was getting NPE when trying to use the result of:

HibernatePersistenceProvider hpp = new HibernatePersistenceProvider();
EntityManagerFactory emFactory = hpp.createEntityManagerFactory("paxDB", puProps);

I got no error message or stack trace.

Using the debugger, I stepped through the code. After the second line, emFactory was null.

I had the logging settings for Hibernate set to display INFO.

I turned logging to TRACE and got the trace shown below. Now that I know there's a problem with my definition, I can fix it.

The error message, however, should be shown at ERROR level, not at DEBUG!
