Deprecated Methods

Method and Description
org.apache.logging.log4j.core.util.Throwables.addSuppressed(Throwable, Throwable) If compiling on Java 7 and above use Throwable.addSuppressed(Throwable). Marked as deprecated because Java 6 is deprecated. Will be removed in 2.5.
org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.ConsoleAppender.createAppender(Layout, Filter, String, String, String, String) Use #createAppender(Layout, Filter, Target, String, String, boolean).
org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.SocketAppender.createAppender(String, String, String, SslConfiguration, int, String, String, String, String, String, Layout, Filter, String, Configuration) Use #createAppender(String, String, Protocol, SslConfiguration, int, String, String, String, String, String, Layout, Filter, String, Configuration).
org.apache.logging.log4j.core.impl.Log4jLogEvent.createEvent(String, Marker, String, Level, Message, Throwable, ThrowableProxy, Map, ThreadContext.ContextStack, String, StackTraceElement, long) use Log4jLogEvent.Builder instead. This method will be removed in an upcoming release.
org.apache.logging.log4j.core.util.Throwables.getSuppressed(Throwable) If compiling on Java 7 and above use Throwable.getSuppressed(). Marked as deprecated because Java 6 is deprecated. Will be removed 2.5.

To do so, simply include log4j-core in your dependencies and make sure annotation processing is not disabled.
