'Upgrade log4j in apache jmeter core maven

I'm fairly new to maven, so bear with me.

I have this dependency in pom.xml

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.jmeter</groupId>
            <artifactId>ApacheJMeter_core</artifactId>
            <version>5.4.3</version>
        </dependency>

        <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.jmeter/ApacheJMeter_java -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.jmeter</groupId>
            <artifactId>ApacheJMeter_java</artifactId>
            <version>5.4.3</version>
        </dependency>

These dependencies contain log4j version 2.11.2 and i want to update them to atleast 2.17.1 (i think thats the latest version, not sure).

Is there a way to explicitly update these version numbers, as 5.4.3 is the latest version of jmeter core and its not log4j compliant.

I use the plugin

<groupId>com.lazerycode.jmeter</groupId>
                <artifactId>jmeter-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.1.0</version>

and that isnt updating to 5.4.3 either. i kinda need some help making this jmeter code log4j compliant.

Try adding dependency as dependency-management in your POM.

<dependencyManagement>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.log4j</groupId>
      <artifactId>log4j-artifactid</artifactId>
      <version>${log4j-version}</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

  1. jmeter-maven-plugin version 3.1.0 will give you JMeter 5.3 no matter what you specify in the <dependencies> section.
  2. The latest version is 3.5.0 which gives you JMeter 5.4.1

So you will either need to wait for the next release or to explicitly specify the desired JMeter version like:

<configuration>
    <jmeterVersion>5.4.3</jmeterVersion>
</configuration>
