ERROR StatusLogger Log4j2 could not find a logging implementation Please add log4j-core to the classpath Using SimpleLogger to log to the console

This error message is indicating that the Log4j2 library is unable to find a logging implementation, such as log4j-core, on the classpath.

To resolve this issue, you need to add the log4j-core library to your project's classpath. Here are the steps to do that:

1. Identify the version of log4j-core you want to use. You can find the latest version on the Log4j2 website or by searching for it on Maven Central.

2. If you are using a build tool like Maven or Gradle, add the log4j-core dependency to your project's configuration file. For example, in Maven, you would add the following code to your pom.xml file:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>log4j-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.x.x</version>
</dependency>

Replace "2.x.x" with the desired version of log4j-core.

3. If you are not using a build tool, you can manually download the log4j-core JAR file from the Log4j2 website or Maven Central, and add it to your project's classpath.

4. After adding the log4j-core dependency, rebuild your project and run it again. The error message should no longer appear, and Log4j2 will use the log4j-core library for logging.

Note: If you are using an IDE, make sure to refresh the project or restart the IDE after making these changes to ensure that the classpath is updated correctly
