Release 1.4.0. Sample spring-boot-sample-actuator-log4j2 works but not as expected

[DmitriBoulanger]

I am running your sample spring-boot/spring-boot-samples/spring-boot-sample-actuator-log4j2/,
release 1.4.0. The sample is git-cloned from your repository. So, i hope it exactly as it should be.
But i am getting always

ERROR StatusLogger Log4j2 could not find a logging implementation. Please add log4j-core to the classpath. Using SimpleLogger to log to the console...

I have checked that all required dependencies are there.
Could you please check or explain ....
And some relevant question.
Release 1.3.7.RELEASE had the artifact org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-log4j
I cannot find similar one in the the RELEASE.1.4.0. Are your not supporting Log4j12 in the release 1.4.0?

Thank you so much

@DmitriBoulanger See the release notes on the WIKI. Specifically:

Log4j 1 support has been removed following Apache EOL announcement.

As for SampleActuatorLog4J2Application, it appears to be working both on our CI system and locally within my IDE. Can you explain the exact steps to reproduce the problem?

Sorry for a large delay with this answer.
Even more, i bag your pardon for disturbances: the problem was at my local host.
I had a very dirty maven local repository. I have cleaned it up, a now i have no problems any more
Please close the issue, and again, sorry for disturbances
