Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-235:
------------------------------------
Nick, I'm not disagreeing with you.
I removed tools.jar as soon as it was pointed out.
I made jconsole.jar optional as soon as I understood how this transitive
dependency thing works in maven.
There is no (and never was any) dependency on JDK classes for anyone using
log4j.
The class in question is only used when you run
$JAVA_HOME/bin/jconsole -pluginpath log4j-core-<version>.jar
(and you would need a JDK to run that command anyway)
Removing tools.jar and making jconsole.jar optional was high-priority as it was
affecting users.
Moving the JMX GUI classes into a separate submodule (I'd like to call it
log4j-jmx-gui) is on the todo list, but not at the top anymore. There are a
handful of bugs and there's your DB appenders patch that I all consider higher
priority and I plan to look at those first before the module reshuffling.
Let me know if you think I am prioritizing things wrong.

> Reporter: Sebastian Oerding

> Hello,
> when switching from 2.0-beta4 to 2.0-beta5 I something irritating that in the
> dependency hierarchy of my project. For log4j2-core there were transitive
> dependencies on tools.jar and jsconsole which had not been there.
> This looks like a bug and an as a consequence requires a JDK instead of a
> JRE (at least due to the tools.jar which does not exist in Java 1.6 JRE). If
> these dependencies are really required, it should be clearly stated.
