I am trying update log4j version to 2.x. But the spring platform-bom is already using managed log4j of 1.2.x. I commented out the existing log4j and tried using the following

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.logging.log4j/log4j-core -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-core</artifactId>
<version>2.11.2</version>
</dependency>

But on server startup I get the following error 

nested exception is com.google.inject.internal.util.$computationException: com.google.inject.internal.util.$computationException:java.lang.NoCLassDefFoundError:Lorg/apache/log4j/Logger;

I could not provide the complete stack trace but this was encountered when providing dependency injection of guiceBeanContainer

Please help .
