Trying to use new logback but it breaks with an XML file

[NoComment1105]

Hi, I'm trying to use the newest logback version (1.4.1), alongside KotlinLogging version 3.0.0, however, this XML error is thrown. I don't know why, because I have other projects with identical configurations that don't throw this error. The one line of code this exception points to is the following:
private val gitHubLogger = KotlinLogging.logger("GitHub Logger")

Thank you in advance for any help you give :D

The SAX parser you are using org.gjt.xpp.jaxp11.SAXParserImpl does not seen to recognize the http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities feature. This is a security feature which cannot be removed.

Can you use another SAX parser? Or a more recent version of org.gjt.xpp.jaxp11.SAXParserImpl ?

I suggest you open a Jira issue at jira.qos.ch (logback project) so this problem can be tracked.

@NoComment1105, in case you are (transitively) using dom4j, then that library erroneously pulls in pull-parser (which contains the org.gjt.xpp.jaxp11.SAXParserImpl class). See dom4j/dom4j#99 for more information and for how to apply a workaround for this.
