Another possible solution could be to activate your custom logging.properties would be to use a profile
Given the following layout: pom.xml src/main/resources/logging.properties Now normally the maven-resources-plugin will copy this file to target/classes/logging.properties during build and test runs and you may load it from the class-path (I did not check whether java.util.logging.config.file may do a class path lookup, though) Add a profile to your pom.xml like this: <profile> <id>local-logging.properties</id> <activation> <file> <exists>${user.dir}/debug-resources/logging.properties</exists> </file> </activation> <build> <resources> <resource> <directory>${user.dir}/debug-resources/</directory> </resource> </resources> </build> </profile> Create your modified logging.properties at `./debug-resources/logging.properties`, add `debug-resources/` to .gitignore Then this should override the one from src/main/resources (not tested!)
