Apache Log4j 2 is an upgrade to Log4j that provides significant improvements
over its predecessor, Log4j 1.x, and provides many of the improvements available
in Logback while fixing some inherent problems in Logback's architecture.
Log4J is an open source library based on the work of many authors.
It allows the developer to control which log statements are output
with arbitrary granularity. It is fully configurable at runtime
using external configuration files. Best of all, Log4J has a gentle
learning curve. Beware: judging from user feedback, it is also quite
addictive.

===> The following configuration options are available for apache-log4j2-2.26.1:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings

Mk/**java.mk: Convert bsd.java.mk to USES
The following features have been added or changed:
- Instead of USE_JAVA use USES=java. This defaults to
USES=java:build,run if NO_BUILD is undefined. Else it defaults to
USES=java:run
- Instead of USE_ANT=yes use USES=java:ant which also implies
USES=java:build
- Instead of JAVA_BUILD=yes use USES=java:build. Does not imply run or
extract
- Instead of JAVA_EXTRACT=yes use USES=java:extract does not imply
build or run
- Instead of JAVA_RUN=yes use USES=java:run does not imply extract or
build
- Instead of USE_JAVA=<version> use USES=java and JAVA_VERSION=<version>

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
