That won't really work since both programs use the same jar. I really
need the ability to specify which jar-packaged config file to use from
the command line. The documentation implies that this is possible, I
just would like to know how.

I have not used this system property.
If your application does not include the installer code, but the installer
includes the application code, then you can enclose "logback.xml" with the
main application and "logback-test.xml" in the installer.
Then "logback-test.xml" will be used if present, otherwise "logback.xml".
Perhaps this is useful?

Subject: [logback-user] alternate configuration files on the classpath
In the logback manual,
http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html#configFileProperty,
there is the following section
Specifying the location of the default configuration file as a system
property
If you wish, you can specify the location of the default configuration
file with a system property named logback.configurationFile. The value of
this property can be a URL, a resource on the class path or a path to a file
external to the application.
java -Dlogback.configurationFile=/path/to/config.xml
chapters.configuration.MyApp1
There is no example of using this property to refer to a configuration file
on the classpath, for example, an alternate configuration file deployed in
an application jar file. This is my requirement. I have two executables,
the main one, and an auto-installer for it, code for which lives in the same
jar file, with each executable launched by its own batch file.
I tried placing an alternate config file on the root of the classpath inside
the jar file (at the same directory as logback.xml). this does not seem to
work.
What is the correct format for defining -Dlogback.configurationFile= for a
resource located in a jar file on the classpath or, for that matter, any
other classpath resource more generically?
