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

There are three ways l know.

1. Add log4j.properties to app.jar
2. Put the log4j.properties to the "folder" (where the JAR exists) and change the class-path to .lib/log4j-1.2.15.jar.
3. Put the log4j.properties to the folder named "conf" for example, and change the class-path to ./conf/.

I have tried, it works.
