log4j property file in my application

[Peter]

I'm developing a rcp plugin application and implement a log4j to log in
but when I export the plugin as a product of the eclipse, the log file doesn't generate.
Where should I put the log4j.properties in my application of the plugin rcp?

thanks,
peter

Hello, for that they were interested in LOG4J… I found a tool very good to filter and to see log… using a XMLLayout format.

Log4j Version 1.2.14: Package org.apache.log4j.chainsaw

I checked the documentation of log4j and the properties file must be in the path.
Particularly I use this code to configure it:

private static final File LOG_PROPS = new File("logger.properties");
...
if (LOG_PROPS.exists()) {
PropertyConfigurator.configure(LOG_PROPS.getPath());
} else {
BasicConfigurator.configure();
}

While the logger.properties file is in the directory where the application executes, it works well.
