Log4j 2 Loggeredit

You need to also include Log4j 2 dependencies:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>log4j-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.7</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>log4j-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.7</version>
</dependency>

And also provide a Log4j 2 configuration file in your classpath. For example, you can add in your src/main/resources project dir a log4j2.properties file like:

appender.console.type = Console
appender.console.name = console
appender.console.layout.type = PatternLayout

rootLogger.level = info
rootLogger.appenderRef.console.ref = console
