This causes problem when launching application with a general class path (e.g /usr/share/java/*) since log4j will look for a property file in all loaded jars. If any contains directive for the root logger it will affect any logger with no level who are directly under the root logger. This could result in an unexpected behaviour (e.g no events triggered etc.).
