[jira] [Commented] (LOG4J2-2129) Log4j2 throws NoClassDefFoundError in Java 9

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2129?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16402115#comment-16402115 ] 

Björn Kautler commented on LOG4J2-2129:
---------------------------------------

Just in case someone needs a workaround because he cannot update, here is an easy one.
Compile a class named {{Log4JModulePatch}} that lies in package {{org.apache.logging.log4j}}.
Content of the class:
{code}
package org.apache.logging.log4j;

import org.apache.logging.log4j.message.ThreadDumpMessage.ThreadInfoFactory;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.util.PropertiesUtil;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.util.PropertySource;

public class Log4JModulePatch {
    public static void patch() {
        //TODO: Remove with log4j 2.11.0 or newer
        Module log4jApiModule = PropertiesUtil.class.getModule();
        log4jApiModule.addUses(PropertySource.class);
        log4jApiModule.addUses(ThreadInfoFactory.class);
    }
}
{code}
Package it as a JAR and use {{--patch-module org.apache.logging.log4j=path/to/log4j-api-patch.jar}} on execution.
----
You can also simple use the attached [^log4j-api-patch.jar] and use the {{--patch-module}} parameter mentioned above.
