Gary Gregory commented on LOG4J2-1013:
--------------------------------------

Crud, I see two problems here and I am surprised you got this far.

# Because the main map lookup is not a Log4j plugin but instead a special slot 
in the map lookup plugin, it is not registered in Log4j as a plugin 
(obvisouly). This means Log4j does not see it when it starts up and configures 
a logger context. I have a fix for that which makes the main map look up a 
plugin.
# The next problem is that Log4j uses the characters {{:}} and {{-}} are 
variable value delimiters when it is parsing the pattern. I'm not sure why but 
I or someone will have to look at that (later for me).

> Accessing Main Arguments by using index based look up works : ${main:0}
> Accessing Main Arguments by using name based look up doesn't work :

> When trying to access by name it doesn't retrieve the argument but retrieves 
> "-file".
