$h1 Maven, Ivy, Gradle, and SBT Artifacts
Log4j 2 is broken up in an API and an implementation (core), where the API
provides the interface that applications should code to.
Strictly speaking Log4j core is only needed at runtime and not at compile time.
However, below we list Log4j core as a compile time dependency
to improve the startup time for [custom plugins](manual/plugins.html) as it provides an
annotation processor that generates a metadata file to cache plugin information as well
as the necessary code to compile against to create custom plugins.
$h2 Using Log4j in your Apache Maven build
To build with [Apache Maven](https://maven.apache.org/), add the dependencies listed below to your
`pom.xml` file.
#maven(['log4j-api', 'log4j-core'])
$h2 Using Log4j in your Apache Ivy build
To build with [Apache Ivy](https://ant.apache.org/ivy/), add the dependencies listed below to your
`ivy.xml` file.
#ivy(['log4j-api', 'log4j-core'])
$h2 Using Log4j in your Gradle build
To build with [Gradle](https://gradle.org/), add the dependencies listed below to your
`build.gradle` file.
#gradle(['log4j-api', 'log4j-core'])
$h2 Using Log4j in your SBT build
To build with [SBT](http://www.scala-sbt.org/), add the dependencies listed below to your `build.sbt` file.
#sbt(['log4j-api', 'log4j-core'])
$h2 Bill of Material
To keep your Log4j module versions in sync with each other, a
<abbr id="Bill of Material">BOM</abbr>
pom.xml file is provided for your convenience. To use this with
[Maven](https://maven.apache.org/), add the dependency listed below to your
`pom.xml`
file. When you specify the version identifier in this section, you don't have to specify the version in your
`<dependencies/>` section.
`pom.xml`
```
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-bom</artifactId>
<version>${Log4jReleaseVersion}</version>
<scope>import</scope>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
```
To use this with Gradle, an additional [Gradle plugin](https://github.com/spring-gradle-plugins/dependency-management-plugin)
is required for dependency management functionality.
`build.gradle`
```
plugins {
id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.1.RELEASE'
}
dependencyManagement {
imports {
mavenBom 'org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-bom:${Log4jReleaseVersion}'
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-api'
compile 'org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-core'
// etc.
}
```
$h2 Optional Components
Log4j 2.x contains several optional components that can be included in an application.
$h3 Log4j 1.x API Bridge
If existing components use Log4j 1.x and you want to have this logging routed to Log4j 2,
then remove any log4j 1.x dependencies and add the following.
#dependencies(['log4j-1.2-api'])
$h3 Apache Commons Logging Bridge
If existing components use Apache Commons Logging 1.x and you want to have this logging routed to Log4j 2,
then add the following but do not remove any Commons Logging 1.x dependencies.
#dependencies(['log4j-jcl'])
$h3 SLF4J Bridge
If existing components use SLF4J and you want to have this logging routed to Log4j 2, then add the
following but do not remove any SLF4J dependencies.
#dependencies(['log4j-slf4j-impl'])
$h3 JUL Adapter
If existing components use Java Util Logging and you want to have this logging routed to Log4j 2,
then add the following.
#dependencies(['log4j-jul'])
$h3 Web Servlet Support
In order to properly support and handle the ClassLoader environment and container lifecycle of a web
application, an additional module is required. This module is only required at runtime. In addition, if
you're using servlets in an OSGi environment, make sure your preferred version of the servlet API is
already available (e.g., if you want to use 3.0, but you've also got 2.5 loaded, make sure both are
loaded).
#dependencies(['log4j-web'])
$h3 Tag Library
The Log4j Log Tag Library creates the capability of inserting log statements in JSPs without
the use of Java scripting. It uses the standard Log4j 2 API to log messages according to
your Log4j configuration.
#dependencies(['log4j-taglib'])
$h3 Apache Flume Appender
The Flume Appender allows applications to send events to Flume Agents.
#dependencies(['log4j-flume-ng'])
$h3 Log4j to SLF4J Adapter
The Log4j 2 to SLF4J Adapter allows applications coded to the Log4j 2 API to be routed to SLF4J. Use of this
adapter may cause some loss of performance as the Log4j 2 Messages must be formatted before they can be passed
to SLF4J. The SLF4J Bridge must NOT be on the class path when this is in use.
#dependencies(['log4j-to-slf4j'])
$h3 CouchDB
If your configuration uses the NoSQL CouchDB appender, then add the following.
#dependencies(['log4j-couchdb'])
$h3 MongoDB
If your configuration uses the NoSQL MongoDB appender, then add the following.
#dependencies(['log4j-mongodb'])
$h3 Cassandra
If your configuration uses the Cassandra appender, then add the following.
#dependencies(['log4j-cassandra'])
$h3 IO Streams
Log4j IO Streams allow applications to have data that is written to an OutputStream
or a Writer be redirected to a Logger, or have data that is read from an InputStream or
a Reader be wiretapped by a Logger. To use IO Streams, add the following.
#dependencies(['log4j-iostreams'])
$h3 Scala API
A convenient Scala wrapper for the Logger API. SBT users can add the following to their
`build.sbt`:
#sbtVersion(['log4j-api-scala'], '11.0')
Maven, Ivy, and Gradle users need to add the Scala version to the artifact name.
Scala 2.12 users can use the following:
#mavenVersion(['log4j-api-scala_2.12'], '11.0')
#ivyVersion(['log4j-api-scala_2.12'], '11.0')
#gradleVersion(['log4j-api-scala_2.12'], '11.0')
Scala 2.11 users can use the following:
#mavenVersion(['log4j-api-scala_2.11'], '11.0')
#ivyVersion(['log4j-api-scala_2.11'], '11.0')
#gradleVersion(['log4j-api-scala_2.11'], '11.0')
Scala 2.10 users can use the following:
#mavenVersion(['log4j-api-scala_2.10'], '11.0')
#ivyVersion(['log4j-api-scala_2.10'], '11.0')
#gradleVersion(['log4j-api-scala_2.10'], '11.0')
$h2 Snapshot builds
You can access the latest development snapshot by using the Maven repository
`https://repository.apache.org/snapshots` and the current SNAPSHOT version.
Generally, the master branch will use the next patch version as its snapshot
version regardless of what the next actual version of Log4j will be. For example,
if the latest release were `2.0`, then master would be using the version
`2.0.1-SNAPSHOT`. Always verify with `pom.xml` in the master branch as described
in the [source repository page](source-repository.html).
$h3 Maven
Maven users can add the following to their `pom.xml` to enable snapshots:
```
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>apache.snapshots</id>
<name>Apache Snapshot Repository</name>
<url>https://repository.apache.org/snapshots</url>
<releases>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</releases>
</repository>
</repositories>
```
$h3 Gradle
Gradle users can add the following to their `build.gradle` to enable snapshots:
```
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven { url 'https://repository.apache.org/snapshots' }
}
```
$h3 SBT
SBT users can add the following to their `build.sbt` to enable snapshots:
```
resolvers += "Apache Snapshot Repository" at "https://repository.apache.org/snapshots"
```
