Log4j Core Upgrade

[deleonenriqueta]

Description

Upgrade log4j-core from 2.17.1 to 2.25.3

Changes

• Added dependency exclusions for new transitive dependencies:
  • org.jspecify
  • aQute
• Removed service file exclusion (META-INF/services/org.apache.logging.*)
  • Required for log4j 2.25.3 compatibility (build fails without them)
  • ShadowJar automatically relocates path and class references

Testing

• builds successfully
• all logging tests pass
• ran with spring-petclinic (modified to use log4j), no reported exceptions or classpath conflicts

Resolves #2691
