log4j ***** Had a project where we did not want the ``log4j.properties`` to be added to the jar file but we still wanted log4j to work for unit tests. For the Maven configuration see: ``../maven/log4j.html``. Eclipse needs to be configured per *Run* configuration. Assuming you have moved ``log4j.properties`` to the root of your project... Select *Run*, *Run...*, choose the configuration which needs updating, select the *Arguments* tab and enter the following into *VM arguments*: :: -Dlog4j.configuration=file:log4j.properties log4j Java VM Arguments: :: ../images/log4j-vm-arguments.gif
