+===== Using Log4j 2.x
 Many people use http://logging.apache.org/log4j[Log4j] as a logging framework for
 configuration and management purposes. It's efficient and well-established, and in fact
 it's what we use at runtime when we build and test Spring. Spring also provides some
 utilities for configuring and initializing Log4j, so it has an optional compile-time
 dependency on Log4j in some modules.
 
-To make Log4j work with the default JCL dependency ( `commons-logging`) all you need to
-do is put Log4j on the classpath, and provide it with a configuration file (
-`log4j.properties` or `log4j.xml` in the root of the classpath). So for Maven users this
