    public DefaultLogger()
    Sole constructor.

- ## Method Details

  - ### setMessageOutputLevel

    public void setMessageOutputLevel​(int level)
    Sets the highest level of message this logger should respond to. Only messages with a message level lower than or equal to the given level should be written to the log.

    Constants for the message levels are in the `Project` class. The order of the levels, from least to most verbose, is `MSG_ERR`, `MSG_WARN`, `MSG_INFO`, `MSG_VERBOSE`, `MSG_DEBUG`.

    The default message level for DefaultLogger is Project.MSG_ERR.

    Specified by:
      `setMessageOutputLevel` in interface `BuildLogger`
    Parameters:
      `level` - the logging level for the logger.

  - ### setOutputPrintStream

    public void setOutputPrintStream​(PrintStream output)
    Sets the output stream to which this logger is to send its output.
    Specified by:
      `setOutputPrintStream` in interface `BuildLogger`
    Parameters:
      `output` - The output stream for the logger. Must not be `null`.

  - ### setErrorPrintStream

    public void setErrorPrintStream​(PrintStream err)
    Sets the output stream to which this logger is to send error messages.
    Specified by:
      `setErrorPrintStream` in interface `BuildLogger`
    Parameters:
      `err` - The error stream for the logger. Must not be `null`.

  - ### setEmacsMode

    public void setEmacsMode​(boolean emacsMode)
    Sets this logger to produce emacs (and other editor) friendly output.
    Specified by:
      `setEmacsMode` in interface `BuildLogger`
    Parameters:
      `emacsMode` - `true` if output is to be unadorned so that emacs and other editors can parse files names, etc.

  - ### buildStarted

    public void buildStarted​(BuildEvent event)
    Responds to a build being started by just remembering the current time.
    Specified by:
      `buildStarted` in interface `BuildListener`
