According to codesearch it is used in apache-log4j2 test suite, though I 
don't know if the test suite or tests that use it are actually run when 
building the package.

FI the sourceforge page still exists [1], the last sourceforge release 
dates back 2015-04-04 and the last good capture of the wayback machine 
dates back 2016-12-23 [2].

There is a collection of forks on GitHub, maybe one of them could be 
identified as a viable successor. Maybe you could check what the newer 
releases of apache-log4j2 are actually using, or just keep that package 
around for now if you are unsure.

Cheers,
