For my spring boot app, I am trying to setup logback so that logs are written to a file. I have defined 2 profile one for prod and one default. The prod one is supposed to write to a file and default is supposed to write to the default console(std out). While the prod profile seems to be working, when I run the default profile the logs don't print in the eclipse console - they too are logged to the file. What did I do wrong
