------------------------------------
(Updated change log.)
Michael, we are getting ready for the 2.1 release. If the fix in master does
not work we just might be able to correct it if you let us know soon.
> Misleading error message "Log4j2 could not find a logging implementation.
> Please add log4j-core to the classpath."

> Key: LOG4J2-862
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-862
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Configurators
> Affects Versions: 2.0.2
> Reporter: Michael Sutherland
> Assignee: Matt Sicker
> Fix For: 2.1
>
>
> In the code out put I see
> "ERROR StatusLogger Log4j2 could not find a logging implementation. Please
> add log4j-core to the classpath. Using SimpleLogger to log to the console..."
> followed by "java.lang.ClassCastException:
> org.apache.logging.log4j.simple.SimpleLoggerContext cannot be cast to
> org.apache.logging.log4j.core.LoggerContext" which means core must be on the
> class path as otherwise you couldn't get that class cast execption. At which
> point the application using Log4j2 fails to start.
> The underlying problem is org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager assuming if
> org.apache.logging.log4j.util.ProviderUtil returns false for hasProviders it
> is because core is not on the classpath. In practice I've found that
> hasProviders can return false because ProviderUtil is using a different
> Classloader than the rest of the application. It cannot find the
> "META-INF/log4j-provider.properties" resource but it is on the class path.
> I think there is a problem with the logic of how the classloaders are chosen
> but I don't understand what Log4j is trying to do here, however I am sure the
> error message is confusing and misleading
