The reason why I added this filter is that I was getting a log4j2 ERROR StatusLogger Unrecognized conversion specifier Reading about this, I found several posts that said the solution was to filter the Log4j2Plugins.dat files. So I should merge the files instead? Question: Would I get the same issue if instead of creating an Uber jar, I created a jar with just my project's classes, and then ran it with -cp log4j2-compatibility-1.0.0.jar:/path/to/the/depencies/*.jar
