Reload4j was created by the original author of log4j 1.x, Ceki Gulcu. Reload4j is a fork of log4j version 1.2.17. It preserves the same java name space, that is "org.apache.log4j". However, is is published under the "ch.qos.reload4j" group id in Maven Central.

The aim of the reload4j project is to provide a migration path to those users wishing to correct log4j 1.x security issues. Upgrading to a newer version of log4j 1.x is not possible since the project has been declared EOL [1] by the Apache Software Foundation. This decision was reaffirmed in 2022[2]. Moreover, log4j 2.x has a considerably different API and configuration style.

Version 1.2.8.0 of reload4j was released on the 12th of January 2022 and is available for public consumption. More information is available on the project web site.
