title: log4j.properties not working in executable jar
body: <p>I'm using eclipse and I have placed log4j.properties in the project directory and I access it by calling </p>
  
  <pre><code>PropertyConfigurator.configure("log4j.properties");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>this works fine in Eclipse, but when I extract the project as an executable Jar and run it on another machine, I get an error saying that it can't find log4j.properties. What is the solution to this?</p>
