On starting up my Web app with Velocity 2.0 I'm getting the following error:

```
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
             org/apache/velocity/runtime/log/CommonsLogLogChute
    at org.springframework.ui.velocity.VelocityEngineFactory.createVelocityEngine(VelocityEngineFactory.java:240)

    at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.initializeBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1624)
    ... 34 more

```

All dependencies have been satisfied. We are using

* slf4j-api-1.7.25.jar
* slf4j-simple-1.7.25.jar
* commons-lang3-3.5.jar
* commons-io-2.5.jar
* commons-logging-1.2.jar (yes we do have Commons-Logging)

In applicationContext.xml the velocityEngine bean is defined as follows

```
<bean id="velocityEngine" 
class="org.springframework.ui.velocity.VelocityEngineFactoryBean"/>

```

Any thoughts on this?

My file `velocity-engine-core-2.0.jar` only contains the following `.runtime` subpackages: 

```
defaults, directive, parser, resource, visitor

```

but no `log` .

**UPDATE** The following overrideLogging = FALSE in the Spring Velocity Engine bean declaration solved the problem. **But why?**

```
<bean id="velocityEngine" class="org.springframework.ui.velocity.VelocityEngineFactoryBean"> 
    <property name="overrideLogging" value="false" />
</bean>

```

I just followed a tip on 
<https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/ui/velocity/VelocityEngineFactory.html>
but not sure what happened.
