> I have observed that Maven Javadoc Plug-in v3.4.0 downloads Log4j-1.2.12
> dependency transitively in local maven repository i.e. .m2 folder upon
> running maven update in eclipse IDE or from command line. Since Log4j-1.X is
> strictly prohibited for use in many organisations, we had no other option
> that not using the plugin. Please plan to fix this issue and get rid of the
> log4j-1.X dependency.
> *Steps to Reproduce-*
> 1. Add maven javadoc plugin v3.4.0 in your project POM file
> <plugin>
> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
> <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
> <version>3.4.0</version>
> <configuration>
> <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
> <additionalparam>-Xdoclint:none</additionalparam>
> </configuration>
> <executions>
> <execution>
> <id>attach-javadocs</id>
> <goals>
> <goal>jar</goal>
> </goals>
> </execution>
> </executions>
> </plugin>
> 2. Observe your local maven repository ie. .m2 folder and see if there are
> any log4j-1.2.12 artifacts are present in log4j folder of it. If artifacts
> are present already, delete them for now.
> 3. Run maven update command for your project (additionally run maven install
> command as needed)
> 4. Observe your local maven repository ie. .m2 folder and see if there are
> any log4j-1.2.12 artifacts are generated with latest timestamp inside log4j
> folder.
> Attached is the screenshot showing, maven javadoc plugin v3.4.0 used in
> POM.xml and log4j-1.2.12 dependency getting downloaded in local maven
> repository i.e. .m2 folder.
> Let me know if any other information is required. Thanks!
