Leo, All, I've reviewed Leo's changes and filed a PR https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j1/pull/18 CI: https://github.com/vlsi/log4j/runs/4652588702
I think it is worth separating "build script refactoring" from "bugfix" changes. Does anybody have cycles to review and merge "build script refactoring"? Notable changes on top of Leo's commits: a) I simplified toolchains: the build requires Java <= 1.8 or it requires Java 1.8 (exactly) toolchain to be present. b) I skipped "test: delete several broken low-quality tests". In practice, what Leo calls "broken tests" are tests that need to be executed in their own JVM (e.g. with special values for log4j.configuration, etc). I kept the tests in ignored mode. Vladimir
