I'm getting this error trying to use log4j2 with spring boot.
ERROR StatusLogger Log4j2 could not find a logging implementation.
Please add log4j-core to the classpath. Using SimpleLogger to log to the console...
I'm have followed this guide: http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/howto-logging.html#howto-configure-log4j-for-logging - and also added the two log4j2-dependencies from https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/maven-artifacts.html
My dependency:tree looks like this:

I have added the standard log4j2.xml-file to src/main/resources/config with the default config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration>
<Appenders>
<Console name="STDOUT" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
<PatternLayout pattern="%d %-5p [%t] %C{2} (%F:%L) - %m%n"/>
</Console>
</Appenders>
<Loggers>
<Logger name="org.apache.log4j.xml" level="info"/>
<Root level="debug">
<AppenderRef ref="STDOUT"/>
</Root>
</Loggers>
</Configuration>
Any guesses? I've tried running from within Spring Tool Suite and with the maven spring-boot plugin.
