Hi Pierre,

I'm wondering if it wouldn't better to remove junit-bom from log4j pom.
I don't believe we actually need junit5 at runtime for log4j2, so
packages depending on liblog4j2-java should not have to install junit5.

Any concerns with taking that approach and addressing the bug by
adjusting the pom shipped with liblog4j2-java?

Thanks,
tony
