Upgrading Log4j to 2.0.2. Changed all old references. WARNING: Removed Log4jConfigurator and put all Logger config in Log4j2.XML file. This file is in classpath root ( added because is at codebase\resources\jars\portico.jar folder ) but can be at Federate's root folder and loaded by adding -Dlog4j.configurationFile=./log4j2.xml in command line when running the Federate. Changed the Commons Loggin. Removed the color loggin. Commented the two NDC call methods ( can't find it in Log4j 2 ). I hope Tim can do the low level adjusts.
