Send a Logger output to File using java.util.logging.Logger

Creating a simple java main class showing the implementation of Java Logger using the api java.util.logging.Logger. This code supports: max Length of file(s), number of files to write log, filename of output file, custom feature when logger writting, defines a Log Level, format of log message, works with one or more handlers.
