Thanks!

 

I have a different hack, though. I changed the layout conversion pattern parameters in the log4j appender definition to include the date plus an extra line break (%n parameter), like this:

 

         <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
            <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss} %n%m%n"/>
        </layout>

 

With the results looking like this:

 

02-Dec-2015 09:26:17 
assert expected == actual
       |        |  |
       Some Text|  Some Unexpected Text
                false
