Description

module-info.java appears in the "normal" space of the log4j-api jar. This can cause problems for tools that do not support Java 9 as they are not expecting a class compiled with Java 9 to be there. Instead the file should be moved to META-INF/versions/9 so only Java 9 applications see it.
