             Summary: Log4J 1.2 API implementation ClassCastException with SimpleLoggerContext
                 Key: LOG4J2-146
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-146
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: log4j 1.2 emulation
    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta4
            Reporter: Scott Severtson
            Priority: Minor


Attempting to use the Log4J 1.2 emulation API without log4j2-core results in the following error and ClassCastException on startup:

ERROR StatusLogger Unable to locate a logging implementation, using SimpleLogger
...
	... 36 more
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.logging.log4j.simple.SimpleLoggerContext cannot be cast to org.apache.logging.log4j.core.LoggerContext
	at org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger(Logger.java:43)
        ... 39 more

The ERROR is understood, but the exception is not. Apparently, the Log4J 1.2 emulation is dependent on core, instead of just the SPI? I would not have expected this dependency.
