Error: Maven2RepositoryLayoutFactory: Unsupported repository layout legacy

There are two solutions known to me:

1. Update log4j version to 1.2.17 solves the issue.

2. Stay with log4j version 1.2.15, but add scope runtime to it in this way:

   <dependency>
       <groupId>log4j</groupId>
       <artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
       <version>1.2.15</version>
       <scope>runtime</scope>
   </dependency>
