Matt Sicker commented on LOG4J2-1651: ------------------------------------- My suggestions would be either a plain text format similar to the existing serialized format (perhaps delimited by tabs or the ASCII record/group separators) or a JAXB dump to avoid extra dependencies. For tool support, the text files could be concatenated, or the XML files could be merged via normal XML processing. > Makes the dat format more user friendly > --------------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4J2-1651 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1651 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Romain Manni-Bucau > > The dat format used by the plugin is not that friendly when users want to > shade log4j2 and manual manipulation is hard and require some advanced shade > ability (concretely you need to write your own PluginCache serialization if > you select a subpart of log4j2 to go in your shade) > Would be great to provide an easier and smoother way to do that. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: log4j-dev-unsubscr...@logging.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: log4j-dev-h...@logging.apache.org
