Ah, thank you very much. I didn't expect that to be the case, since it's not a class.
And congratulations on the new baby! One final question. I think this may be more of a Java question than a log4j question, but indulge me. Based on the newfound knowledge that the properties file needs to be in the classpath, I naturally tried this: % java -Dlog4j.debug=true -cp . -Dlog4j.configuration=mylog4j.properties -jar Proximo-Demo.jar (and a lot of variations on that) It appears that when I use the -jar command line option to java, the classpath defined with -cp is totally ignored. This is on Linux with Java 5. Looking at the man page for java, it doesn't say anything about -cp and -jar being mutually exclusive. But they seem to be, because whenever I use -jar, nothing I specify with -cp is honored. Am I crazy or is this true?
