relative path for properties file

[flyguy]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had experience initilizing their properity
configurators.  I code that looks like:

 private static final String logFile = "c://xmlparser.properties";

    static  {
        try  {
            //read config for log4j webct logging
            PropertyConfigurator.configureAndWatch(logFile);
            _category = Category.getRoot();
            _category.log(Priority.WARN, "XmlParser");
        }  catch (Exception e)  {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }


What I am wondering is if I just tell it the name of the properties file,
what directory does it look for it in?  I need something that is relative
to the location of the class loading it so that if multiple people check
my soruce file out and they have different project directories on
different drives then it would still find the properties file.

Thanks,
