Broken Javadoc URL

[NotMyFault]

Hey,

It appears that a recent changed forced a change of the Javadoc URL from https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/log4j-api/apidocs/ to https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/javadoc/log4j-api/index.html.

Is there a particular reason why this was changed without a redirect pointing to the new location? This change affects hundreds of files in open source projects, now left behind broken.

Some builds may also fail because a build tool can no longer obtain the file from the old location:

Error fetching URL: https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/log4j-api/apidocs/ (java.io.FileNotFoundException: https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/log4j-api/apidocs/package-list)

Thanks for the heads up @NotMyFault. I have fixed it, for now. I will bring this up in the dev@ mailing list to decide on a permanent fix.
