Hi Folks

I hope someone is able to help me.  I  have written a Java application  tha=
t uses log4j2. I am using the Idea IDE. When I run the application in Idea =
the logging works fine. I have three appenders, one to the console and two =
to files. However, when I package the application into a runnable jar with =
all its dependencies, and then run it from the command line, log4j2 still c=
reates the two files but there is no logging - not to the files or the cons=
ole.

This is my log4j2.properties file:

property.basePath =3D /home/janne/IdeaProjects/F2_/DATA/outputs/
rootLogger.level =3D trace
rootLogger.appenderRefs =3D STDOUT, LOGFILE, TRACEFILE
rootLogger.appenderRef.stdout.ref =3D STDOUT
rootLogger.appenderRef.logfile.ref =3D LOGFILE
rootLogger.appenderRef.tracefile.ref =3D TRACEFILE

appender.console.name =3D STDOUT
appender.console.type =3D Console
appender.console.layout.type =3D PatternLayout
appender.console.layout.pattern =3D %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1} - %m=
%n
appender.console.filter.threshold.type =3D ThresholdFilter
appender.console.filter.threshold.level =3D info

appender.file1.type =3D File
appender.file1.name =3D LOGFILE
appender.file1.fileName =3D ${basePath}/firm.log
appender.file1.layout.type =3D PatternLayout
appender.file1.layout.pattern =3D %msg%n
appender.file1.filter.threshold.type =3D ThresholdFilter
appender.file1.filter.threshold.level =3D debug

appender.file2.type =3D File
appender.file2.name =3D TRACEFILE
appender.file2.fileName =3D ${basePath}/TRACE.log
appender.file2.layout.type =3D PatternLayout
appender.file2.layout.pattern =3D %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1} - %m%n
appender.file2.filter.threshold.type =3D ThresholdFilter
appender.file2.filter.threshold.level =3D trace


I usually create the jar with Maven, but I also tried using Idea to create =
it as an artefact. It makes no difference.

This is my pom file:
