Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-2494:
-------------------------------------
The simple solution is to modify the log message to be a warning instead of an
error. If it fails as a URL then it tries it as a file.
FWIW this error could be avoided by specifying it as
{code}
-Dlog4j.configurationFile=file:///D:/project/build/install/project/config/log4j2.xml
{code}
> System property configurationFile with drive letter gives exception but works
