Answer 1

It looks your dependencies are correct. This is the pom of working spring-boot application with log4j2 as logging framework:

    
    
        org.springframework.boot
        spring-boot-starter
        
            
                org.springframework.boot
                spring-boot-starter-logging
            
        
    
    
        org.springframework.boot
        spring-boot-starter-log4j2
           

Put your log4j2.xml into resource folder for running from eclipse; if you prefer to use the different directory - resource/conf - provide the path to log4j2 configuration with JVM argument like this:

-Dlog4j.configurationFile=”conf/log4j2.xml”

Do not give up and switch back from logback to log4j2...
