> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20819376/log4j2-rollingfile-appender-add-custom-info-at-the-start-of-each-logfile
> I want to add some custom info at the top of each logfile, like the version 
> string of my application, the application uptime and the system uptime. And 
> even writing some »bye, bye / eof« to the bottom of the just closed logfile 
> would also be fine.
> Because there is no appropriate hook or callback to get notified when the 
> RollingFileAppander is creating / has created a new file, so that I can put 
> my things at first into these new logfile, I tried to extend 
> DefaultRolloverStrategy. But currently, I stuck at some points.
> Seems that I have to deal with {{@Plugin}} and {{@PluginFactory}}. My try 
> with the attached log4j2.xml and MyRolloverStrategy.java compiles without 
> errors and warnings. But when I start the application, I get this error 
> message:
> {{2014-01-05 23:22:05,876 ERROR RollingFile contains an invalid element or 
> attribute "MyRolloverStrategy"}}
