> I try to load configuration from an external file on a fat jar.
> I tried to load configuration from multiples methods without success.
> I kept two methods on my sample:
> {code:java}
> if (!Files.isReadable(log4jConfiguration)) {
>     throw new IllegalStateException();
> }
> LOGGER.info("startup");
> LOGGER.debug("startup"); // Not logged = OK
> // First try to load configuration
> Configurator.initialize(null, log4jConfiguration.toString());
> LOGGER.debug("with init"); // Should be logged
> // Second try to load configuration
> // From log4j FAQ : https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/faq.html#reconfig_from_code
> final LoggerContext context = (LoggerContext) LogManager.getContext(false);
> context.setConfigLocation(log4jConfiguration.toUri());
> LOGGER.debug("reconfig from code"); // Should be logged
> LOGGER.info("shutdown"); // Should be logged with [OUTER] prefix
> {code}
>  
> The code works when running from IDE, but when executed with {{java -jar}} the external configuration is not loaded.
> Result when running from IDE:
> !image-2020-02-06-21-20-15-004.png!
> Result when running from jar:
> !image-2020-02-06-21-21-14-488.png!
>  
> I expect to have the configuration file loaded when running my jar file like when running from IDE.
>  
> Edit: 
>  If I compile and execute the same code with java 8, the code works as expected : 
>  !java 8.png! 
> So the issue seem specific to Java11.
