Michael Paus commented on LOG4J2-2649:
--------------------------------------
One problem for GraalVM native-image was introduced by the fix for this issue.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1764
The use of MethodHandles is not supported in native images and so this change
makes recent versions of Log4J2 unusable with GraalVM native-image. See:
[https://github.com/oracle/graal/blob/master/substratevm/LIMITATIONS.md]
I went back to 2.7 which did not have this problem yet but then the nightmare
of reflection configuration began which I have not solved yet. I am about to
quit using Log4J2 and I am looking for simpler alternatives which are
compatible with GraalVM native-image.
> Is Log4j2 considered to support successful static compilation under GraalVM?

> Oracle released GraalVM [https://github.com/oracle/graal] to support the
> static compilation of Java applications to Native Image, which can increase
> the startup speed of Java by at least 10 times. In the cloud native field,
> this basic technology is believed to be in the near future. Will be supported
> by more and more vendors, such as the Spring/Spring Boot community has
> supported or plans to support the feature of GraalVM, see this issue:
> [https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/search?q=Graalvm&type=Issues]
> can support static compilation, so it is recommended that Log4j2 also need
> to support static compilation as soon as possible, and can be compiled
> correctly under GraalVM.
