Description

I've tried to update log4j from 1.2.17 to 2.11.1.

This seems to work for a lot of libraries but not for that ones that are configuring log4j programmatically 

For example crystal reports seems to use log4j 1.2 and its SimpleLayout. 

So if I try to update log4j to the latest version I get a NoClassdefFoundError. 

ConsoleAppender seems to be missing too? 

Could you please readd this classes to log4j-1.2-api?
