My project has a log4j.properties file on the classpath, yet whenever I run a JUnit test, it ignores the settings in the log4j properties file.

All log4j output goes to STDERR and it is set for INFO and up. I can’t figure out where the log4j appender and other settings are being set. None of the jar files that I have in the project contain a log4j properties file, yet it’s obvious that a custom appender is getting set since the log4j message format is not a typical format.

How can I set Junit to use the log4j setting of my project?

Check your runtime setup for your JUnit tests, I wonder if different bin directory or something is causing your log4j file not to get picked up. Also did you check the Junit.jar file on your build path for any custom log4j property files?
