Spring boot Maven找不到spring-boot-starter-log4j2 JAR包问题，使用slf4j的logback输出日志

一、问题描述

把Springboot版本升级了下，运行发现报了这样一个错误：

'dependencies.dependency.version' for org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-log4j:jar is missing.

报错的提示是spring-boot-starter-log4j这个Jar找不到。 

Maven是如下配置：

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.4.2.RELEASE</version>
</parent>

<dependencies>

    ........

    <dependency>  
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion> 
                <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-logging</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-log4j</artifactId>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>
