----------------------------------------
Hi,
Log4j loads its arguments as java.util.Properties (even if they are in a XML
file). '\' is used as an escape parameters in Properties so you have to use
'\\' instead. What you propose would only postpone the problem because if you
want to write to another directory ${basedir}/../logs for example it would fail
the same way :o(.
Handling path with properties is quite annoying when you want to be
cross-platform

> Using log4j.xml I tried to use the resource filtering mechanism of Maven2 to
> write log files to the directory:
> ${basedir}/logs
> (in windows)
> In the end the log files indeed do end up in the project directory, but not
> the ./log directory.
> Also the name of the log file becomes the path with all of the '\'
> (${file.seprator}'s taken out of it:
> For instance if the path to my log file was:
> "C:\dev\workspace\project\logs\project-1.0-dev_test.log"
> My log file would appear in ${basedir} and be called:
> "devworkspaceprojectlogsproject-1.0-dev_test.log"
> Thank you,
> Andrew J. Leer
