Unfortunately we can't remove log4j support. We also need to support log4j v1 for legacy application support. We actually use a fork [1] of log4j which delegates the actual logging to the JBoss Log Manager.

That is a fork though; i.e. WildFly itself does not ship log4j:log4j.

A number of our testsuite modules do declare log4j:log4j as a test dependency, but AIUI org.jboss.logmanager:log4j-jboss-logmanager is API compatible so is it possible to instead have the testsuite depend on the fork and eliminate this dependency?

Hello everyone,

I am trying to build the latest wildfly from a clone of the github repo at https://github.com/bstansberry/wildfly.git. I understand this is the latest and is from the principal maintainer, Brian Stansberry. I've changed the pom references to the old log4j-v1 to the new log4j-v2 but a pom dependency analysis reveals there is a still a dependency on v1. I am at a loss as to where exactly it is coming from. I hope someone here can shed some light please.

The relevant part of the dependency tree is shown from the extract below:

INFO [m] org.wildfly:wildfly-ts-integ-smoke:jar:19.0.0.Beta1-SNAPSHOT
INFO [m] +- org.jboss.ws.cxf:jbossws-cxf-client:jar:5.3.0.Final:test
   :
INFO [m] |  +- log4j:log4j:jar:1.2.17:test
  
Initially I thought it might be coming via an old version of apache CXF but I see from the top level pom that version 3.3.4 is being used, which is the latest. Any ideas?
