Thanks for answering.

I actually wanted to put the file outside the jar so the user can easily modify it for any of their environment. The file will be on the same directory as the jar file.

/dir
    myapp.jar
    log.properties

If the file is in your JAR, you should be using the "resource" attribute instead of "file" (which searches your host filesystem).

  <property resource="log.properties" />

Hello,

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
