java main log4j,Java：log4j初始化错误

I'm new in using the log4j package and I don't see the error:

This is a very simple and straightforward code sample:

import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;

import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;

public class TestLogger {

private static Logger logger;

public static void main(String[] args) {

logger = LogManager.getLogger(TestLogger.class);

logger.info("Hello");

}

}

When I try to compile I get this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at

org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager.getLogger(LogManager.java:129) at

my.package.logging.TestLogger.main(TestLogger.java:15)

I am wondering what on earth it's all supposed to mean ...

Could you help here?

You're most probably missing one of the dependencies. This is easy reproducible if you only include in your classpath the log4j-api-2.0-beta1.jar file.

If you downloaded the binary distribution, include also the log4j-core-2.0-beta1.jar in your classpath. If your using Maven, put this in your pom.xml:

org.apache.logging.log4j

log4j-api

2.0-beta1

org.apache.logging.log4j

log4j-core

2.0-beta1
