Warning in log4j xml file

Question

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd" >
    <log4j:configuration>

In the second line of above code, i am getting the following warning :(

The file cannot be validated as the XML definition "<>\src\main\java\log4j.dtd (The system cannot find the file specified)" that is specified as describing the syntax of the file cannot be located

Someone please suggest the solution.

Thanks in advance

You don't have the file log4j.dtd in your source.

Just donwload the file from here and put in src\main\java\ of your project

yeah you're right, obviously the name should be the same of the file – Gianni B. Dec 30 '15 at 13:46
