Sorry, I think part of a commit that modified WriterAppender never made it to the master branch. I've provided a PR against release-2.x: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/pull/255/files
The issue is that we cannot use WriterAppender.newBuilder() fluently with methods defined on AbstractAppender.Builder because this commit migrated fields without updating the WriterAppender.newBuilder() implementation: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/commit/61b77dfb6ec5f69117f7892ccb940e34b5223954#diff-54bfdf411224aeea892379ecd25a13b9L40 On Mon, Feb 4, 2019 at 9:27 AM Ralph Goers <ralph.go...@dslextreme.com> wrote: > > I’m a little confused.
