It's in the Category static initializer where the decision is made
whether to attempt to load log4j.properties. You can alter this
behavior by specifying a JVM system property of "log4j.configuration" to
be the name of your configuration file. You can also specify
"log4j.defaultInitOverride" to tell the static initializer to skip the
initialization attempt altogether.
