Description

Log4J 2 appears incompatible with Android platform due to inclusion of Java 9 classes (class file version 53). Please see screenshot attached.

I fully admit that there might be a way to make Android ignore those files but it is still disheartening that Log4J 2 APIs have dependencies on things that go beyond providing a thin logging abstraction layer.
