>                 Key: LOG4J2-3263
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3263
>             Project: Log4j 2
>          Issue Type: Documentation
>            Reporter: Cédric Champeau
>            Priority: Major
>
> The docs mention the use of the `compile` configuration, which has been deprecated for several years now, and has been removed in Gradle 7. Instead the samples should use `implementation`:
>  
> {code:java}
> dependencies { 
>    implementation "org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-api:2.17.0"
>    implementation "org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-core:2.17.0" 
> }
> {code}
>  
>  
> The documentation for using the BOM states:
>  
> "To use this with Gradle, an additional [Gradle plugin|https://github.com/spring-gradle-plugins/dependency-management-plugin] is required for dependency management functionality."
>  
> which is incorrect since Gradle 5, where you can simply write:
>  
> {code:java}
> dependencies {
>  implementation platform("org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-bom")
>  implementation "org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-api"
>  implementation "org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-core"
> }
> {code}
>
