Description

(This is a patch I need for the Debian packaging)

In the CMakeLists.txt for the socket server tries to download log4j-1.2 from apache.

Debian does not allow that resources be downloaded during build and has a policy that (if possible) packaged resources are to be used. In Debian log4j version 1.2 is packaged in the packge liblog4j1.2-java, so I need to use this one.

The patch (will also be provided as PR) changes the logic that it will only download log4j if find_jar could not find it using default search paths.

Additionally, I changed the md5 to a sha256 checksum, as md5s are insecure.
