Re: org.apache.logging.log4j.jmx.HierarchyDynamicMBean not found in log4j 2

I’m confused. Log4j 1.x used the package org.apache.log4j. Log4j 2.x uses 
org.apache.logging.log4j. So how was that class part of Log4j 1.x?

Indeed - https://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/jmx/HierarchyDynamicMBean.html 
indicates the package name you show below is wrong.

Although Gary just added the JMX components to log4j-1.2-api I don’t believe you should actually use them. 
Log4j 2 comes with its own JMX support and since the design of Log4j 2 is different than Log4j 1 I suspect 
not everything in 1.x will work as expected.
