Hello,
I tried to import a Maven Project on Eclipse, but there's problem. Eclipse sent me this :
`ERROR StatusLogger No log4j2 configuration file found. Using default configuration: logging only errors to the console. Set system property 'org.apache.logging.log4j.simplelog.StatusLogger.level' to TRACE to show Log4j2 internal initialization logging.`
But, I checked and I have a log4j2.properties in the path src/main/resources :
```
appender.console.type = Console
appender.console.name = console
appender.console.layout.type = PatternLayout
rootLogger.level = info
rootLogger.appenderRef.console.ref = console
```
This is my pom.xml :
```
4.0.0
projet
google
1.0-SNAPSHOT
jar
google
http://maven.apache.org
UTF-8
junit
junit
3.8.1
test
org.elasticsearch.client
transport
5.4.0
org.apache.logging.log4j
log4j-api
2.8.2
org.apache.logging.log4j
log4j-core
2.8.2
org.apache.maven.plugins
maven-jar-plugin
true
org.ccm.maven.App
```
That's my app.java that I tried to compile :
```
package projet;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;
import org.elasticsearch.client.transport.TransportClient;
import org.elasticsearch.common.settings.Settings;
import org.elasticsearch.common.transport.InetSocketTransportAddress;
import org.elasticsearch.transport.client.PreBuiltTransportClient;
/**
* Hello world!
*
*/
public class App
{
public static void main( String[] args )
{
// on startup
try{
TransportClient client = new PreBuiltTransportClient(Settings.EMPTY)
.addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress(InetAddress.getLocalHost(), 9300));
}
catch(UnknownHostException u){
System.out.println("exception:" + u.getMessage());
u.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
```
It's weird because I always think, when I modify my files, to compile with "mvn compile" or refresh on Eclipse.
Thank you for your answers. 😉

This is happening when you launch from eclipse or from the command line?

My bet is that something is not well configured within eclipse.
But as I'm not using eclipse for more than 4 years now I doubt I can help more.
At least check that you have all files in the target/classes dir.

I will check that. But have you got a simple example of Java classes in ElasticSearch ?
An example which create an index, add a Document and search this Document.
Thank you for your help !
