Logback.xml not logging to ConsoleAppender?

I'm trying to set up a console logger with logback in slf4j. My logback configuration is as follows:

<configuration>

  <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
  <!-- encoders are assigned the type
       ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder by default -->
    <encoder class="ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder">
      <pattern>%-4relative [%thread] %-5level %logger{35} - %msg %n</pattern>
    </encoder>
  </appender>

  <logger name="org.hibernate" level="INFO" />
  <logger name="com.myapp" level="TRACE" />

  <root level="DEBUG">
    <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
  </root>
</configuration>

Even though Logback seems to set up with no problems, I can't seem to get output from any loggers into my console. I have tested that LOGGER.isInfoEnabled() returns true in my app.

The output of Logback's StatusPrinter:

17:25:11,736 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[default] - Could NOT find resource [logback-test.xml]
17:25:11,737 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[default] - Found resource [logback.xml] at [file:/Users/ryanspicer/NetBeansProjects/Oncewhen/build/classes/logback.xml]

17:25:12,038 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.AppenderRefAction - Attaching appender named [STDOUT] to Logger[root]

Any ideas what might be going on here, and how to fix it and get working log output?

For those who need to use logback 0.9.18 due to third party dependencies, see this answer for an example of how to configure the appenders.

From the status output, it looks like you are using a version of logback 0.9.18 or earlier. You should try with the latest version.
