Pear installer: logger config not found when running pear installer

I installed the 2.3-RC5 Eclipse tooling, imported the examples projects and tried to run the pear installer via the preconfigured pear installer launch configuration. This results in the exception below. The same does not happen when the pear installer is started via the .bat file. Pear installation works regardless, so this is minor and should not hold up 2.3.

java.io.FileNotFoundException: \config\Logger.properties (The system cannot find the path specified.)
