<p>Apache Log4j 2 is not compatible with the previous versions. Please have the following in mind | |
when upgrading to Log4j 2 in your project: | |
</p> | |
<ul> | |
<li>Log4j 2.4 and greater requires Java 7, versions 2.0-alpha1 to 2.3 required Java 6.</li> | |
<li>The XML configuration has been simplified and is not compatible with Log4j 1.x</li> | |
<li>Configuration via property files is supported from version 2.4, but is not compatible with Log4j 1.x.</li> | |
<li>Configuration via JSON or YAML is supported.</li> | |
<li>Although Log4j 2 is not directly compatible with Log4j 1.x a compatibility bridge | |
has been provided to reduce the need to make coding changes. | |
</li> | |
</ul> | |
