> Log4j2 throws NoClassDefFoundError in Java 8
> --------------------------------------------

>                 Key: LOG4J2-2266
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2266
>             Project: Log4j 2
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.10.0
>            Reporter: Andrejus Chaliapinas
>            Priority: Major
>
> During Unit Tests run using JDK 8 and Log4j2 v2.10.0 - getting this as part 
> of exception stack:
>  
> java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class 
>  org.apache.logging.log4j.util.PropertiesUtil
>      at 
> org.apache.logging.log4j.status.StatusLogger.<clinit>(StatusLogger.java:71)
>      at org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager.<clinit>(LogManager.java:60)
>  
> and issue seems to be somehow related to what is reported so far against JDK 
> 9 here: LOG4J2-2129.
>  
> If some patch on top of v2.10.0 is available to test - please let me know 
> where to download it from.
>  
> While running same UTs with same JDK 8 and v2.8.2 - issue is not observed.
>  
> And question which I have here - why not introduce JDK8 compatibility runtime 
> mode while things with JDK9 are not yet that stable? So it could continue use 
> same logic as of v2.8.2 around that ServiceLoader and not cause side effects.
