Project Maven Duplicated log4j.xml from dependency

Question

I have a Maven project with some dependency from a major project. One of those dependency inserts a log4j.xml file into my final jar derived from the build. I had removed all the duplicated dependecies from my project and insert manually log4j (not derived from any other dependecy). But It haven't work, the other log4j file still imports I wanna know how to stop importing this log4j.xml file and get only the log4j from the src/main/resources of the minor project.

I have just a log4j.xml in the resources and no other configuration file.

Question is still unclear but If you want to load any file from resources then this code will help you.

import java.io.InputStream;

public final class ResourceLoader {

public static  InputStream load(String fileName){

    InputStream input = ResourceLoader.class.getResourceAsStream(fileName);

      if(input==null){
        input = ResourceLoader.class.getResourceAsStream("/"+fileName);
     }
    return input;   
   }
}
