+# Apache Log4j 2
+
+Apache Log4j 2 is an upgrade to Log4j that provides significant improvements over its predecessor, Log4j 1.x,
+and provides many of the improvements available in Logback while fixing some inherent problems in Logback's architecture.
+
+## Documentation
+
+The Log4j 2 User's Guide is available [here](http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/index.html) or as a downloadable
+[PDF](http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/log4j-users-guide.pdf).
+
+## Requirements
+
+Log4j 2.4 and greater requires Java 7, versions 2.0-alpha1 to 2.3 required Java 6.
+Some features require optional dependencies; the documentation for these features specifies the dependencies.
+
