I am following the instruction in the Logback manual to use an external property file.

<property file="log.properties" />

I have log.properties file in the same directory as my executable jar file, which are created as an uber jar file from Maven plugin.

However, I keep getting the error: ERROR in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.PropertyAction - Could not find properties file [log.properties].

Am I putting the file in the correct directory?

Thanks,

Suriyanto
