Description

I've configured my maven project to run my small java program as part of the build process like so:

...
  <build>
    <defaultGoal>clean install</defaultGoal>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.3.2</version>
        <configuration>
          <source>1.8</source>
          <target>1.8</target>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.3.2</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <phase>install</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>java</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
...

After adding log4j 2.0.2 maven started experiencing issues completing the build process. Luckily it has a timeout, so the only effect is a slow down of the build process, while everything else still works.
Also the program itself, when run outside maven, finishes without issues.
