We, Infinispan, has added a jbossts-properties.xml to src/test/resources to make it easier for developers to enable debug logging for JBoss TS code.

Now, when the test jar is filled, this file is included, but any client code using this jar can't startup and instead throws errors like this:

Even though the properties file is within the JAR and the contents of the jar and xml have been verified, the following code does not like it:

filepath = FileLocator.locateFile(propertyFileName);
File propertyFile = new File(filepath);
if(!propertyFile.exists() || !propertyFile.isFile())

{ throw new RuntimeException("invalid property file "+filepath); }

Maybe the JBoss TS code should be improved to locate property files within jars?
