Nick Williams commented on LOG4J2-235:
--------------------------------------
I noticed that the other day, too, and almost filed a bug for it. Specifically,
this is related to the JMX implementation in Log4j2
(http://markmail.org/thread/flnzsojwv47ohf4q). However, as Ralph stated
(http://markmail.org/thread/fbs5huavd4zkdz7c), extra dependencies should not be
drug in. This made me think, "well, additional dependencies have been drug in
and shouldn't have."
However, it's important to note that these transitive dependencies system
dependencies that are resolved at runtime and are not, for example, packaged
with your WAR file if you're creating a web application. Other runtime
dependencies would normally be shipped in your WAR file. So the inconvenience
here is really only noticed if your IDE is transparent about what it's
downloading. I don't BELIEVE it actually affects anything at runtime.
However, it would be great if Remko could shed some light on this. I'm not
exactly clear about how the JMX support he added to Log4j2 would work unless
the application was running in a JDK instead of a JRE.

> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta5
> Environment: Windows 7, 64 bit, Maven 3.0.5, Java 1.6
> Reporter: Sebastian Oerding

> Hello,
> when switching from 2.0-beta4 to 2.0-beta5 I something irritating that in the
> dependency hierarchy of my project. For log4j2-core there were transitive
> dependencies on tools.jar and jsconsole which had not been there.
> This looks like a bug and an as a consequence requires a JDK instead of a
> JRE (at least due to the tools.jar which does not exist in Java 1.6 JRE). If
> these dependencies are really required, it should be clearly stated.
