URL: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/pull/291
 
 
   See  https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2649
           https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2604
   Log4j2 core does not support static compilation because Graalvm does not support MethodHandle method. 
   I change the useing in log4j2 to constructor.

> See [https://github.com/oracle/graal/issues/1209] and [https://github.com/oracle/graal/issues/808]
> Currently log4j2 cannot be used in GraalVM native images because it uses reflection. 
> Graal SubstrateVM can [deal with reflection|https://github.com/oracle/graal/blob/master/substratevm/REFLECTION.md] when it’s clear to the AOT compiler what classes, methods and fields are reflected on. The log4j plugin mechanism is too dynamic for the automatic reflection analysis.
> This can be solved by providing a {{reflect-config.json}} configuration file, which may be embedded in the jar under {{META-INF/native-image/some/path/}}.
> The annotation processor is the natural place to generate this configuration file, so that applications that provide custom Log4j components will have the necessary {{META-INF/native-image/org/apache/logging/log4j/core/config/plugins/reflect-config.json}} to accompany their {{META-INF/org/apache/logging/log4j/core/config/plugins/Log4j2Plugins.dat}} file in their jar.
