> The page [Commons Logging Bridge|http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/log4j-jcl/index.html] mentions under *Usage* that... 
> bq. Simply add the bridge jar along with the other Log4j 2 jars and all logging done using the Commons Logging API will be routed to Log4j.
> ...and under *Requirements* only that...
> bq. The Commons Logging Bridge requires at least Java 6 and is dependent on the Log4j 2 API.
> But this is actually not the case since the API classes from the package {{org.apache.commons.logging}} are not bundled within the bridge JAR.
> So currently the name {{log4j-jcl-2.0.jar}} is a misnomer and so the solution would be to either...
> * rename {{log4j-jcl-2.0.jar}} to {{log4j-jcl-impl-2.0.jar}} (following the example of {{log4j-slf4j-impl-2.0.jar}}) and distribute the {{commons-logging-api-1.x.jar}} along with the Log4J2 distribution (perhaps as log4j-jcl-api-2.0.jar)
> * package the necessary Commons Logging API classes directly into the {{log4j-jcl-2.0.jar}}
> The second solution is how SLF4J handles things, how the description page above describes things and how the SLF4J binding/bridge is supposed to work (see LOG4J2-723)
