log4j 2 - configuration issue

Question

I am trying to configure log4j 2.0 to report logs.

My config is saved as log4j2.xml and this is its content:

Answer 1

I had the same 'ERROR StatusLogger No log4j2 configuration file found. Using default configuration: logging only errors to the console.' message over and over. It made me crazy. The log4j2.xml file was placed correctly at src/main/resources, like i did at thousands of projects before.

The solution in my case was to remove pom from the root pom.xml. packaging pom causes the content of src/main/resources not to be copied to target/classes.

Happy logging for anyone with the same root cause.
