Hey

This is a bit of a weird request but I am trying to set some jvmargs in the log4j.properties file. At present I use ant to for example set some args....

jvmarg value="-Dmail.smtp.socketFactory.port=465"

... but it would be great to group a few of these logging relevant arguments into the .properties file. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance!
