In August 2015 there was an announcement that Apache LogJ 1.x has reached EOL. Link: http://s.apache.org/Wzn As such, I propose to drop building and providing extras/tomcat-juli.jar extras/tomcat-juli-adapters.jar as main goal for these libraries is to support plugging Log4J 1.x directly into Apache Commons Logging layer of Tomcat logging. In my understanding Log4J 2, Logback can be plugged directly into java.util.logging layer. Though our documentation does not yet describe this.
Fixed in 9.0.x for 9.0.0.M7 onwards with no plans to backport.
Per the Release Notes for 8.5.4 this bug was fixed in that release, but the README for 8.5.4-8.5.14 still suggests the file is part of the distribution http://apache.claz.org/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.5.14/README.html.

Correction, per the Change Log http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/changelog.html this bug was fixed in 8.5.4.

Though our documentation does not yet describe this. Configuring Tomcat for use Log4J2 don't work 100%: log4j2 with jul-bridge + java.util.logging.manager=org.apache.logging.log4j.jul.LogManager, don't seem to provide same features as "org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager".
Dan, Thanks for the report. The content of the READMEs has been updated for 8.5.21 onwards. I'll update the current release manually and try and remember to do the same for 8.5.20. Guillermo, If you are having difficulties with using Log4J2, the users list is the place to seek help. If a specific feature is identified as missing then a Bugzilla enhancement request can be opened if appropriate.
