Update log4j in Grails 2.4 results in "Could not transfer artifact from/to grailsCentral"

Solution 1:

Perhaps I misunderstand, but I'm using:

compile "org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-core:2.17.1"
compile "org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-api:2.17.1"

Is that what you're trying to do? Maybe the base version is a shorthand for that, just something to try
