-------------------------------------
What happens if you do
{code:java}
public class MyTextField extends JTextField {
final private static Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(MyTextField.class);
public MyTextField(){}
} {code}
> getlogger() UnsupportedOperationException when loaded by Class.forName()

> Key: LOG4J2-3420
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3420
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: API
> Affects Versions: 2.17.2
> Environment: Several versions of log4j 2.
> Tried with several versions of jdk (the exception shown is jdk-17).
>
> Reporter: Ernie Rael
> Priority: Major
>
> Exception arises when this class is used in the NetBeans guiBuilder.
> {code:java}
> public class MyTextField extends JTextField {
> final private static Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger();
> public MyTextField(){}
> }
> {code}
> Get the following exception when the bean is selected to drop on the gui.
> {noformat}
> INFO [org.netbeans.modules.form.MetaComponentCreator]: Cannot load component
> class play.MyTextField from unknown source.
> The class itself was found, but there was a problem initializing it, e.g. due
> to an exception in static initializer, or failure in loading an additional
> class needed by the component class. Check the attached exception.
> java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: No class provided, and an
> appropriate one cannot be found.

> This exception similarly occurs with clazz.newInstance(), which is sometimes
> used by the guiBuilder. It also occurs if the getLogger is in the constructor
> rather than a static.
> As a workaround, since I can compile the gui component, I'm invoking
> Stuff.getLogger()
> {code:java}
> public class Stuff {
> static Logger getLogger() {
> try {
> return LogManager.getLogger(StackLocatorUtil.getCallerClass(2));
> } catch(UnsupportedOperationException ex) {}
> return LogManager.getRootLogger();
> }
> }
> {code}
