Description

I'm having an issue with Log4J. It doesn't output my messages in a compiled application (compiled using jPackage). It does work when run the jar file.

The issue is described at
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78275297/log4j-doesnt-write-to-file-in-native-os-x-application

Is Log4J2 supported to be used in a compiled native application?

Thanks

Research direction

Start with the linked Stack Overflow report and compare the application's behavior when run from the JAR with the jPackage-built application. Reproduce the missing Log4J output and establish whether Log4J2 supports this deployment mode; a complete result should identify the cause or clearly document the support limitation.
