-The `GraalVmProcessor` needs to know the `groupId` and `artifactId` coordinates of your project.
-These must be supplied to the processor using the `log4j.graalvm.groupId` and `log4j.graalvm.artifactId` annotation processor options.
+The `GraalVmProcessor` requires your project's `groupId` and `artifactId` to correctly generate the GraalVM reachability metadata file in the recommended location.
