BSF or other jars can ship with log4j.properties file embedded. This causes
problem when launching an application with a general class path (e.g
/usr/share/java/*) since log4j will look for a configuration file in all loaded
jars. If any contains directive for the root logger it will affect any logger
with no level who are directly under the root logger. This could result in an
unexpected behaviour (e.g no events triggered et.).
