If you give a relative path, it will be relative to the working
directory of the JVM process, which is unrelated to where the classfiles
are. If you wish to use "class-relativity" you should load the
properties resource yourself, probably using
getClass().getResourceAsStream(file); (see javadoc for details) then use
PropertyConfigurator.configure(Properties).
