log4j2 feature broken so consider removal

[graemerocher]

Description

Creating an app with the log4j feature with 4.9.x results in:

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.
SLF4J(W): Class path contains SLF4J bindings targeting slf4j-api versions 1.7.x or earlier.
SLF4J(W): Ignoring binding found at [jar:file:/Users/graemerocher/.m2/repository/org/apache/logging/log4j/log4j-slf4j-impl/2.25.0/log4j-slf4j-impl-2.25.0.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]
SLF4J(W): See https://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#ignoredBindings for an explanation.

Expected Behaviour

Should work

Actual Behaviour

There doesn't seem to be a version of log4j2 compatible with the version of slf4j we are using

[Sh1tH4pp3ns]

That feature will introduce the following dependency, which seems to be at the core of the issue:

runtimeOnly("org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-slf4j-impl")

Requesting the slf4j2 implementation instead seems to do the trick.

runtimeOnly("org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-slf4j2-impl")
