LOG4J2-1101 - Add documentation. Add missing license headers
> Date based file appender
> ------------------------

> Key: LOG4J2-1101
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1101
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Appenders
> Reporter: Haavar Valeur
> Assignee: Ralph Goers

> I'd like to reintroduce the option of logging to a file that has the current
> date in it.
> For example, when the app starts up, it will start logging to
> myapp-20150821.log. At midnight, it starts logging to a new file named
> myapp-20150822.log.
> Log4j2's RollingFileAppender does not support this. In log4j2 the file
> appender will log to one file with a static file name, and then the content
> is moved over to another file.
> This used to be a feature in log4j 1.3, when using extras. I would configure
> it like this:
> {code}
> <appender name="myapp"
> class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
> <rollingPolicy
> class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
> <param name="FileNamePattern" value="myapp-%d{yyyyMMdd}.log"/>
> </rollingPolicy>
> ....
> </appender>
> {code}
> The only way I found that it would work in log4j2 is to use the following
> code, but that's pretty hacky:
