quickfixj logs have no newlines for windows notepad

Question

I need to change the charset or add

        System.setProperty("line.separator", "\r\n");

so I added the above in the main function but that doesn't make newlines appear in the quickfixj log. Any ideas?

Don't use Notepad.

I don't mean that to be a flippant answer, but as a fellow developer I'm sure you know that there are dozens of other text editors out there, and all of them are better than Notepad.

This won't be the last time you open a file that uses Unix-style line endings, so you might as well use a full-featured editor that can handle them.
