Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-2537: ------------------------------------- If you are getting this message then your application is not setup to use multi-release jars. Log4j supports Java 9+ by using Stackwalker in a version of StackLocator that is located in META-INF/versions/9. Depending on how your application works, you may need to have Multi-Release set to true in the jar manifest. This is true for Spring Boot jars. Without multi-release support you will use the pre-Java 9 version of StackLocator which tries to use Reflection.getCallerClass(). That class was removed in Java 9. Log4j will fall back to a slower way to calculate stack locations but it will still work. Hence the warning. > Log4j 2 Performance issue with Java 11 > -------------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4J2-2537 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2537 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: API > Affects Versions: 2.11.0 > Reporter: Suraj Menon > Priority: Minor > > Log4j shows the following warning when running with Java 11.
