[logback-user] scanning property files that are read from configuration file

[ceki]

Hi Yoel,

Property files are not watched for changes. I don't feel it is a
widely needed feature so we probably won't implement it. However, you
could write a property action which adds the property file to the list
of scanned files.

Joran is not limited to the built-in rules. You can add new rules on
the fly. See [1] for details. Don't hesitate to ask for help if you
get stuck.
