I load/run only 1 JVM at a time. 1 Thread I might add. No forking here.

As the log4j debug stays, the file is being found and loaded after all.

First, I have to make it work. I can always add an entry in proprties file
for a specific class later on. First it must work - then I will worry about

Alright. It will change. But it's on my super bottom list of worries. I
first have to make it work. Then worry about the rest.
