Hi,

The officially recognized and supported plugin by Atlassian for Jira plugin development is jira-maven-plugin (so the latest). Therefore, for developing plugins for Jira, you should use jira-maven-plugin.

As for log4j, you can pull log4j version 2.x via jira-core in provided scope.

Be careful, log4j will be removed from Jira 10 : [Announcing Data Center Platform 7.0. Next step to improve our security posture](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/announcing-data-center-platform-7-0-next-step-to-improve-our-security-posture/76446)

**May be start to pull the latest [log4j on maven](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.logging.log4j/log4j-core)**
