BTW - I just want to make sure that you are aware that instead of unzipping all
your jars and rezipping into one new jar that another alternative you have is
to just place all the jars in one directory. Then, instead of placing the
log4j jars in lib/ext or combining them with your classes you would do:
java -cp "lib/*:target/classes" com.test.App
