Description

Problem:

Consider the following line in the log4j.properties file:

    log4j.logger.MyClass=TRACE_

Where the underscore represents a trailing space before the line ends. This causes TRACE message for `MyClass` to be silently omitted from the log but no warning is printed. Removing the trailing space restores output of the TRACE message for the respective class.

Suggested Fix:
Either implicitly trim the line when parsing the property file and ignore the space, or print a warning during start.
