Hi, I started to test a bit with the RC, I see a strange problem related to Log4j, the static getLogger() returns null when using POI 5.4.0 and Log4j 2.24.0 in a sample project.
When updating Log4j to 2.24.1, it works again. So sounds like a regression in Log4j 2.24.1 when combined with 2.24.0, which would be strange. This reproduces with a very simple project, e.g. running "./gradlew runWriteFile -PpoiVersion=5.4.0" in a checkout of https://github.com/centic9/poi-reproduce Would be interesting if others see the same! Thanks... Dominik.
