> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: build

> Environment: Maven 3.0.2 on CentOS6.2
> Reporter: Mark Grover

> Tomcat ships with a default logging.properties file that's generic enough to
> be used however we already override it with a custom log file as seen at
> https://github.com/apache/hadoop-common/blob/trunk/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs-httpfs/pom.xml#L557
> This is necessary because we can have the log locations controlled by
> httpfs.log.dir env variable (instead of default catalina.base/logs), control
> the prefix of the log files names, etc.
> In any case, this overriding doesn't always happen. In my environment, the
> custom logging.properties file doesn't get overridden. The reason is the
> destination logging.properties file already exists and the maven pom's copy
> command silently fails and doesn't override. If we explicitly delete the
> destination logging.properties file, then the copy command successfully
> completes. You may notice, we do the same thing with server.xml (which
> doesn't have this problem). We explicitly delete the destination file first
> and then copy it over. We should do the same with logging.properties as well.
