I tried to get it working, but I didn' have much luck. The one thing I did
figure out is that it seems that the normal log4j bindings only work with log4j
1.x. There are some that work better form the apache website, but they still
crash and I can't get any output.
For anyone who's interested, this is the Maven config that got me the farthest:
