Description

This task is to remove LOG4J 1.x dependencies from CXF 3.4.0. The Log4jLogger can be replaced by the Slf4jLogger and delegate to Log4j 1.x or 2.x by including the appropriate SLF4J binding jar. The LoggerPatternLayoutLog4J in the STS will just be removed as it's not tested and it seems the API has changed a lot from 1.x -> 2.x. We can re-instate a 2.x version of it if required.
