> The page [Log4j 2 SLF4J Binding|http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/log4j-slf4j-impl/index.html] mentions under *Usage* that... 
> bq. Simply include the Log4j 2 SLF4J Binding jar along with the Log4j 2 jars to cause all SLF4J logging to be handled by Log4j 2.
> ...and under *Requirements* only that...
> bq. The Log4j 2 SLF4J Binding requires at least Java 6 and has a dependency on the Log4j 2 API.
> But this is actually not the case since the API classes from the package {{org.slf4j.*}} are not bundled within the binding JAR.
> The solutions could either be to...
> * distribute the {{slf4j-api-1.x.x.jar}} along with the Log4J2 distribution (perhaps as {{log4j-slf4j-api-2.0.jar}})
> * package the necessary SLF4J API classes directly into the {{log4j-slf4j-impl-2.0.jar}}) (renaming that one then simply to {{log4j-slf4j-2.0.jar}})
> The second solution is how SLF4J handles things, how the description page above describes things and how the Commons Logging binding/bridge is supposed to work (i.e. {{log4j-jcl-2.0.jar}}) (see LOG4J2-722)
