Description

The Log4j2-manual should provide a Quick-Start for OSGi-developers.

Very important: It is not enough that the core library is located in the same folder as the api. If log4j2 is used in an OSGi-environment, you have to specify the dependencies on the core and on the api in your POM, otherwise the libraries are not added to the bundle-ClassLoader. This leads to the error: 'StatusLogger Unable to locate a logging implementation, using SimpleLogger.'
