             Summary: The "packages" attribute in appender configuration 
reporting ERROR
                 Key: LOG4J2-1972
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1972
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Question
         Environment: Linux Red Hat.
            Reporter: Seweryn Habdank-Wojewodzki
            Priority: Minor


We are using Log4j2 v. 2.8. 
We have own appender configuration more less:

{code:xml}
<MyAppender name="MyAppender" ignoreExceptions="false" 
packages="my.company.myappender.log4j2">
...
      <CustomField name="sourceApplication">my-app</CustomField>
</MyAppender>
{code}

In the documentation [Property 
Substitution|https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html#Property%20Substitution]
 we can read:

packages        A comma separated list of package names to search for plugins. 
Plugins are only loaded once per classloader so changing this value may not 
have any effect upon reconfiguration.

But anyhow we got error:

{{2017-07-10 16:37:03,017 localhost-startStop-3 ERROR MyAppender contains an 
invalid element or attribute "packages"}}

How shall we handle this attribute?
