--------------------------------------
Hi [~AlBundy33],
Our compatibility layer does extend to the implementation, only the API. This
is a challenging distinction in Log4j 1 since the API and implementation are
packaged together. For Log4j 2, you can provide a PR on github to extend the
compatibility layer to what you need: [https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2]

> org.apache.log4j.SimpleLayout missing in log4j-1.2-api
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LOG4J2-2476
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2476
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: log4j 1.2 emulation
> Affects Versions: 2.11.1
> Reporter: Al Bundy
> Priority: Major
>
> I've tried to update log4j from 1.2.17 to 2.11.1.
> This seems to work for a lot of libraries but not for that ones that are
> configuring log4j programmatically
> For example crystal reports seems to use log4j 1.2 and its SimpleLayout.
> So if I try to update log4j to the latest version I get a
> NoClassdefFoundError.
> ConsoleAppender seems to be missing too?
> Could you please readd this classes to log4j-1.2-api?
