             Summary: Experience of a newbie to logging
                 Key: LOG4J2-1537
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1537
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
         Environment: idea 2016, maven
            Reporter: d
            Priority: Minor


Not sure if this is the right place for general feedback but here goes:

I wanted to learn to use loggers, googling told me log4j2 was popular so I had 
a go with it. I feel the documentation is extremely lacking / poorly organized 
for a first timer - I've used java for a few years but never loggers. 

One problem that completely stopped me getting anywhere - I cannot get log4j2 
to access the configuration file. I can access the classpath and properties 
file myself fine but log4j refuses to find it. I'm using the latest intellij 
idea with maven. Here is some more info: http://pastebin.com/7Nix7zME

I think for now I will abandon trying to use log4j, it doesn't feel 
logger-newbie friendly :(
