title: log4j appender relative to the path of my maven project
body: <p>I'm trying to define an log4j appender to be saved in my current maven project (for dev only). I do not want the appender to end up in my deployed webapp, but in my actual maven project, next to the sources, regardless of where my webapp is deployed (locally of course). </p>
  
  <p>I have tried various maven (and non-maven) variables with no luck. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a variable I'm missing to do this simply?
  Any help is appreciated. 
  Thanks. </p>
