I was able to build the project with Maven3 and Java 1.8 by commenting out tools.jar, "site-related", "antrun-related" stuff in pom.xml. It did produce logj4.jar that worked with Weblogic APP. ---- There's an alternative option: * cut the files from the source * take log4j-1.2.17.jar * remove the offending classes * re-save the file as log4j-1.2.18.jar * manually upload it to oss.sonatype.org via UI :) It might be easier than trying to find the proper tools for the compilation.
