Issue http://apache.org/xml/features/xinclude testing log4j 2

Question

I'm testing Log4j2 and I don't know what I'm doing wrong because I downloaded the library from Apache and put them in the classpath. I added the xercesImpl, xalan, xml-apis, serializer, xsltc too and the exception still persist. I show the stack trace and the config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="DEBUG">
    <Properties>
        <Property name="log-path">C:/Logs/</Property>
    </Properties>

            filePattern="${log-path}/myexample-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}-%i.log">
            <PatternLayout>
                <pattern>%d{dd/MMM/yyyy HH:mm:ss,SSS}- %c{1}: %m%n</pattern>

        </Logger>
        <Root level="debug" additivity="false">
            <AppenderRef ref="RollingFile" />
        </Root>
    </Loggers>
</Configuration>

Thanks in advance.

In my case, removing an outdated xercesImpl-2.6.2.jar from the classpath helped.
