Description

I used ant to build a app.jar which has log4j2.xml in the jar, however when I run the jar, it will miss the log4j2-core**.jar and log4j2-api**.jar as the lib. But I need to distribute the lib together with my app.jar as one jar file and run the app.jar(with the exlib in the jar), please tell me how to do that?

I have tried simply pack the log4j2**.jar into the app.jar, but never print out any log, I think somehow must set the path inside jar to point the log4j2.properties in the log4j-**.jar file.

Thanks!
