Hi All,
<br>
<br>
<br>
We started testing SLF4J and logback projects using Java 9, more
specifically build 154. As such, I would appreciate if you could
add the following details onto the Quality Outreach wiki page.

Initial testing results
<br>
=======================
<br>
<br>
Initial testing indicates that log4j version 1.2.x is unable to
parse the result of the call System.getProperties("java.version").
The returned string is "9-ea". However, log4j 1.2.x expects a
string in the form "1\.*", for example "1.6", "1.7" etc.
<br>
<br>
If the string is not in the correct form, log4j 1.2.x
conservatively assumes that it is running under Java 1.1 and
disables certain important functions, such as MDC support. The
code in question is the static initializer of the
org.apache.log4j.helpers.Loader class.
<br>
<br>
Log4j 1.2.x is no longer maintained. However, there are
innumerably many projects which still use log4j 1.2.x.
<br>
<br>
I would suggest that the string returned be in the form "1\.9*"
such as
<br>
"1.9EA" so as not to break log4j 1.2.x under Java 9.
<br>
<br>
Many thanks in advance for taking the above into consideration.
<br>
<br>
Best regards,
<br>
<br>
