Launch app with log4j2 support not generating a proper project template

[erdincyilmazel]

Expected Behavior

I just created a new project using the micronaut launch app, added log4j2 as an option. When I start the generated empty project as is, I am getting an error from SL4J that says No SLF4J providers were found. Obviously, logging doesn't work. I can't tell exactly where the problem is, as the log4j dependencies are clearly in the gradle build file:

    annotationProcessor("io.micronaut:micronaut-http-validation")
    annotationProcessor("io.micronaut.serde:micronaut-serde-processor")
    implementation("io.micronaut.serde:micronaut-serde-jackson")
    implementation("org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-api")
    implementation(platform("org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-bom:2.24.1"))
    compileOnly("io.micronaut:micronaut-http-client")
    runtimeOnly("org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-core")
    runtimeOnly("org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-slf4j-impl")
    testImplementation("io.micronaut:micronaut-http-client")

Actual Behaviour

I expect slf4j to pickup log4j2 as the logger. I am getting a NoOp logger at runtime instead.

Steps To Reproduce

Go to https://micronaut.io/launch, on features add log4j2 and then generate a project.

Console output when I first run the blank app:

SLF4J(W): No SLF4J providers were found.
SLF4J(W): Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
SLF4J(W): See https://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#noProviders for further details.
