I have an Eclipse Java Project which uses log4j. I can't set the log4j configuration file to be accessed by file path. I have to export and run the project in a jar.

Here is how i trying:

```
public class Wita {
  static Logger logger;
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.setProperty("log4j.configuration", new File("").getCanonicalPath()+File.separatorChar+"resources"+File.separatorChar+"log4j.xml" );
    // System.out.println( System.getProperty("log4j.configuration") );
    logger = Logger.getLogger(Wita.class.getName());
  }
}

```

System out prints the **C:\Users\roncsak\eclipse\_workspace\WITA\resources\log4j.xml** which is good. *WITA* is the base folder of the project. But running the project with *-Dlog4j.debug* argument the following returns also:

```

log4j: Trying to find [C:\Users\roncsak\eclipse_workspace\WITA\resources\log4j.xml] using context classloader sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@18e3e60.
log4j: Trying to find [C:\Users\roncsak\eclipse_workspace\WITA\resources\log4j.xml] using sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@18e3e60 class loader.
log4j: Trying to find [C:\Users\roncsak\eclipse_workspace\WITA\resources\log4j.xml] using ClassLoader.getSystemResource().
log4j: Could not find resource: [C:\Users\roncsak\eclipse_workspace\WITA\resources\log4j.xml].

```

I would like to change the log4j.xml over time, without building another jar file. How can I do that?
