Hello,

I'm trying to install log4j 2.17.1 on RHEL 8.7 running Java 17, but rpm is reporting an error stating that Java 11 is a required dependency to run log4j. Is there a reason why Java 17 doesn't satisfy the Java 11 dependency? Any way I can get log4j to install running Java 17? I am running an environment that requires Java 17 so I am unable to use a different version, and I prefer not to run multiple versions of Java on this system if possible.

Thank you,

James Farrell
