| |
| Apache Log4j 2.3 requires a minimum of Java 6 to build and run. This will be the last release of Log4j 2 to |
| support Java 6. Future releases will require a minimum of Java 7. |
| |
| Basic compatibility with Log4j 1.x is provided through the log4j-1.2-api component, however it does not implement some of the |
| very implementation specific classes and methods. The package names and Maven groupId have been changed to |
| org.apache.logging.log4j to avoid any conflicts with log4j 1.x. |
