ERROR Unable to locate appender RollingFile for logger

I'm in a weird state where I am getting:

2015-09-24 11:25:27,317 main ERROR Unable to locate appender RollingFile
for logger

with 2.3 and 2.4. How can that be? I generated Eclipse .classpath files for
a multi-module project with 'mvn eclipse:eclipse' as usual. Log4j worked
yesterday. Weird!

That must mean Log4j cannot find dat files all of a sudden?

Sigh, brain fart on my end. Applogies. I had a part of my XML config
commented out.

In a different project, I had an 'enabled' attribute on certain XML
elements in config files, which was a really neat way to turn things on and
off without messing with XML comments, and worse, not being able to use
_nested_ XML comments, since XML does not allow for that.

I we had an 'enabled' attribute, I could have seen a WARN like "Appender
RollingFile is referenced but not enabled."

Have you pulled the latest from Git? During my Checkstyle cleanup at some
point I messed up the Level class; this compiled but gave
ClassDefNotFoundErrors at runtime (during the tests). I fixed this a few
hours ago but if you checked out that version you may see strange errors.

I would expect you to see a lot more errors if that was the case.  Can you enable debug level and see what happens during configuration?
