I have not implemented support for properties files in Log4j 2. It would be fairly easy to implement but I've never really liked the way they worked in Log4j 1.x so I just didn't do it. I prefer XML but at an ApacheCon a couple of years ago I was encouraged to support JSON and since it provides a good way to demonstrate how to implement multiple configuration styles I went and implemented it.
