Java log4j2 "GenericObjectPool does not take parameters"

I'm having the same problem as the user here: log4j type GenericObjectPool does not take parameters but I've been unable to find an answer to this problem. Log4j2 works when appending to a rollingfile but the method listed here : https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/appenders.html gives me the error "GenericObjectPool does not take Parameters"
