Error message "Log4j2 could not find a logging implementation" (original) (raw)

Describe the bug
With the default minimal setup as described in the user guide, the mentioned error is logged on every build.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to itf-examples
2. Remove log4j-core (compile scope) in pom.xml

   <dependency>
   <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
   <artifactId>log4j-core</artifactId>
   </dependency>

3. Run mvn verify and look for the mentioned error message right after the beginning of maven-failsafe-plugin

Expected behavior
The required dependency on log4j-core should be mentioned in the user guide. Or it shouldn't be a required dependency at all.

It may be better if it's a runtime-dependency of itf-jupiter-extension. But I don't know if this could cause a logging dependency hell in user projects.
