<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>
