[opencms-dev] No opencms.log file in version 9.5?

Hello,

I'd to change log4j.properties in opencms 9.5+ windows:
   ....
   opencms.logfile=C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Tomcat
7.0\\webapps\\opencms\\WEB-INF\\logs\\opencms.log
<file://program%20files//Apache%20Software%20Foundation//Tomcat%207.0//webapps//opencms//WEB-INF//logs//opencms.log>
   ....
Otherwise, "opencms.log" was created in C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\Tomcat 7.0 with the same settings in opencms 9.0.
