Bruce Brouwer commented on LOG4J2-609:
--------------------------------------
It is also not clear to me why {{StatusConfiguration}} keeps a static reference
to {{System.out}}. {{System.out}} can change over time.
I've been digging into this for a little while because I wanted to provide a
patch, but it is not obvious to me where the right place is to fix this. I
could use some guidance, or I could let someone else take this one on.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-609
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.0-rc1
> Reporter: Bruce Brouwer
>
> {{org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.status.StatusConfiguration}} allows
> you to specify a destination such as "out", "err" or a file name. If
> specifying a file, that file stream is used when creating a
> {{StatusConsoleListener}} that is added to the {{StatusLogger}}. Those
> {{StatusLogger}} listeners are never cleaned up when, for example, the
> {{XmlConfiguration}} is reconfigured or when the {{LoggerContext}} is shut
> down (e.g. in {{InitialLoggerContext.apply()}}). This leaves open file
> handles and is the source of the failing test {{FileOutputTest}} on Windows.
