A category can be defined only in a single property. Hence, merging two property files 
defining the same category will lead to unexpected results. Thus, merging will only 
work properly with disjoint category definitions. Disjoint category definitions in 
turn mean that invoking PropertyConfigurator (or DOMConfigurator) on multiple times is 
safe as long as the category definitions in the different config files are disjoint....

Hope this helps, Ceki
