@bberenz for some reason the Log Dialog is empty and the log files aren't being created/appended (e.g. those normally found in %APPDATA%\qz). Any clue as to why?

They appear to be working fine on my end. Are you getting any errors in the console?

Hadn't tried interactively (and the ones we'd normally use are missing, so a bit of a catch-22)

Oh I suppose I am running from intellij, I can try running from installer when I have some time available later today.

Oh that's even stranger. I wonder why it would it work in IDE but not installed.... that's bazaar. I can confirm that the Log Dialog and files are working just fine from IDE. Does this suggest that the config file isn't being read for some reason?

So the interactive console is working when I start QZ Tray manually, but the Log Dialog is still empty. No glaring issues in the interactive logs suggesting why.

So, I'm still perplexed by the difference in behavior between IDE and installed version for the 2.1 branch.

Seems to be a jigsaw-related issue, log4j uses two different techniques for printing stacktraces and they're incompatible with older and newer JREs respectively. I don't know how to fix this, but people are talking about a "multi-release" jar, which sounds like a can of worms.... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53049346/is-log4j2-compatible-with-java-11

We do add some jigsaw flags at runtime, so if we know how to toggle between the dependencies, I think we can make this work to allow running with either Java 8 or Java 11 (as well as 17, etc).

Tested on Metal with Windows 10, Ubuntu 20.04, and MacOS Big Sur (Intel). Logs look good!
