-----------------------------------------
paulk-asert merged PR #2333:
URL: https://github.com/apache/groovy/pull/2333
> @Log4j2 uses Logger class from log4j-core instead of log4j-api

> used by the {{@Log4j2}} annotation utilizes
> {{org.apache.logging.log4j.core.Logger}} from the log4j-core library, which
> is the implementation for the logging system, when it should be using
> {{org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger}} from the log4j-api library, which is the
> interface that should be accessed by the code directly. While the current
> configuration does technically function, it requires the logging
> implementation to be available at compilation time as opposed to only at
> runtime as described by the [Log4j
> documentation|https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/installation.html].
> Additionally, [Groovy's documentation|http://example.com/] for the annotation
> does not accurately reflect the transformation and indicates that it _does_
> use the api's Logger.
>
> Please let me know if any further information is required.
