Description

The BootstrapLogManager doesn't load the org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg file from the correct location.

By consequence, the log4j.appender.out.file property is set to ${karaf.base}/data/log/karaf.log. If the user setup a different log file name in the appender - for instance as follows:

1. File appender
   log4j.appender.out=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
   log4j.appender.out.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
   log4j.appender.out.layout.ConversionPattern=%d {ABSOLUTE}

   | %-5.5p | %-16.16t | %-32.32c

   {1}

   | %-32.32C %4L | %m%n
   log4j.appender.out.file=${karaf.base}/data/log/my.log
   log4j.appender.out.append=true

he will set:
my.log
karaf.log

in the ${karaf.base}/data/log directory.
