Description

Went through the transform process from Java 8 to 21 and was unable to run the application afterward without adding a `name` attribute to the element in the logback.xml. Just wanted to mention since this is meant to be the sample and didn't work for me out of the box.

```

Research direction

Start with the transformed sample's logback.xml and inspect the element near line 9. Verify the configuration against the reported Logback error, then run the application after the Java 8-to-21 transform; done means it starts without requiring a manual name attribute change.
