Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-2133: ------------------------------------- Is it an option to make log4j-api an automatic module? This can be done by adding an attribute to the manifest. That’s what I did with picocli (see the [manifest section|https://github.com/remkop/picocli/blob/31e8f99237cea492605f7a58011e0d9769066e74/build.gradle#L62] in build.gradle) to keep it binary compatible with Java 5. > Log4J 2 appears incompatible with Android platform due to inclusion of Java 9 > classes (class file version 53) > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4J2-2133 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2133 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: Wish > Components: API > Affects Versions: 2.9.1, 2.10.0 > Reporter: Oleg Kalnichevski > Attachments: Screenshot from 2017-11-28 09-41-37.png > > > Log4J 2 appears incompatible with Android platform due to inclusion of Java 9 > classes (class file version 53). Please see screenshot attached. > I fully admit that there might be a way to make Android ignore those files > but it is still disheartening that Log4J 2 APIs have dependencies on things > that go beyond providing a thin logging abstraction layer. > Oleg -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
