---------------------------------------
Summary: SLF4J API classes missing from distribution
Key: LOG4J2-723
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-723
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0
Reporter: Holger Stenzhorn
The page [Log4j 2 SLF4J
Binding|http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/log4j-slf4j-impl/index.html]
mentions under *Usage* that...
bq. Simply include the Log4j 2 SLF4J Binding jar along with the Log4j 2 jars to
cause all SLF4J logging to be handled by Log4j 2.
...and under *Requirements* only that...
bq. The Log4j 2 SLF4J Binding requires at least Java 6 and has a dependency on
the Log4j 2 API.
But this is actually not the case since the API classes from the package
{{org.slf4j.*}} are not bundled within the binding JAR.
The solutions could either be to...
* distribute the {{slf4j-api-1.x.x.jar}} along with the Log4J2 distribution
(perhaps as {{log4j-slf4j-api-2.0.jar}})
* package the necessary SLF4J API classes directly into the
{{log4j-slf4j-impl-2.0.jar}}) (renaming that one then simply to
{{log4j-slf4j-2.0.jar}})
The second solution is how SLF4J handles things, how the description page
aboves describes things and how the Commons Logging binding/bridge is supposed
to work (i.e. {{log4j-jcl-2.0.jar}}) (see LOG4J2-722)
