I just followed the instructions and had two problems:
The wget url is wrong. I should be 
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/logging/log4j-audit/apache-log4j-audit-1.0.0-bin.zip
 
<https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/logging/log4j-audit/apache-log4j-audit-1.0.0-bin.zip>
I copied the application properties from the web site. If there are trailing 
spaces on the values they have to be deleted.

Other than that the editor started fine.  

Did you:
Create a directory for the catalog editor.
Copy the catalog editor jar into that directory.
Create a file named application.properties in that directory
Start the catalog editor in that directory.

Also, the editor creates a clone of the repo in a temp directory. If things are 
misconfigured you will have to delete that directory. In the logs you will see 
something like

java.io.tmpdir=/var/folders/ng/bsg7qt2x5p373mck9gxhyjhr0000gn/T/

There will be an audit directory under that which is what you want to delete.
