Should log4.properties be on the classpath?

Question

I\'m having some problems putting my log4j.properties file on classpath. I can use it when I\'m developing (Eclipse Indigo) but, when I export my app as a JAR, I can\'t.

Answer 1

Do not put the log4j.properties itself in the classpath, but the directory that contains that file.

Class-Path: lib lib/log4j-1.2.15.jar
