Something the other comments didn't specify is that `log4j-api` 3.x will not break binary compatibility with `2.x` from a user's perspective. There will be some changes also there, but they should only concern Log4j APi implementors and Log4j Core plugin providers. > To provide a bit of context, the Apache Kafka project is considering > switching to log4j2, but we're concerned that with log4j3, log4j2 will > soon enter end of life. That is great news. Are you planning to switch APIs (from SLF4J to Log4j API) or implementations (from Reload4j to Log4j Core)? The first operation should be easy, since we recently contributed an SLF4J to Log4j API OpenRewrite recipe: https://github.com/openrewrite/rewrite-logging-frameworks/releases/tag/v2.4.0 The second operation should be trivial, since you just need to convert the configuration file in your binary distribution. For simple case you can also use `Log4j1ConfigurationConverter`: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/blob/2.x/log4j-1.2-api/src/main/java/org/apache/log4j/config/Log4j1ConfigurationConverter.java Piotr --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: log4j-user-unsubscr...@logging.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: log4j-user-h...@logging.apache.org
