Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-201:
------------------------------------
I agree that they are confusing. I would suggest "group". "category" would be
OK too.
> Having 'type' and 'elementType' on plugin is confusing

> Type isn't a very descriptive name for a plugin attribute, and elementType
> isn't much better. The two of them together lead to confusion.
> Are there better names we can use?
> The list of 'types' include core, converter, fileconverter (slightly
> confusing), configurationfactory, lookup and keyprovider...
> The list of 'elementTypes' is larger, and includes appender, layout,
> advertiser, etc...
> It would be great if we could find another name for one of these..preferably
> 'type'...how about...category??
