I am using log4j in Eclipse for logging messages in a java desktop application. I want that the log should be created in a specific folder (Specifically, in the folder which contains source folder 'src' and classes folder 'bin').
Is it possible to set this in log4j.properties? How to ensure that log is created at this location only?

I would go with Saket's reply. But instead of hardcoding the location its always better to have a relative path.
If you started your application from a main method from a class called Launcher for example and this is the structure of your Eclipse Project directory:
Java Project
src
bin
Then just give your location to be
log4j.appender.R.File=./log/Logfile.log
This will create the file under a directory log:
Java Project
src
bin
log
LogFile.log
Hope you got it..
