Every time I launch my Java on Eclipse, it floods the console with logging information:
Jun 10, 2014 2:34:01 AM org.hibernate.annotations.common.Version <clinit>
INFO: HCANN000001: Hibernate Commons Annotations {4.0.1.Final}

So far, I've tried (based on answer here How do you configure logging in Hibernate 4 to use SLF4J and "official" docs):
System.setProperty("org.jboss.logging.provider", "jdk");
java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger("org.hibernate").setLevel(Level.OFF);
But it makes no difference. Hibernate keeps spamming the console.
Turning off hibernate logging console output has been of no use, since as noted in the comments Hibernate 4+ uses JBOSS logging.
