I'm using Log4j 2.3, rather than the latest 2.x version, because my code needs 
to run on Java 1.6. Anyway, I am configuring everything programmatically. When 
I create the RollingFileAppender with RollingFileAppender.createAppender, I 
pass in as the policy parameter:

SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy.createPolicy("10MB");

So far, so good. But I need to be able to change the max file size 
programattically at runtime. I could do it with log4j 1.2.x because my 
RollingFileAppender had a setMaxFileSize() method. But in 2.3, the 
triggerPolicy field of RollingFileAppender is read only, and the 
SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy that determines the max file size seems to be 
immutable. About the only thing I can see that might work is to remove the 
appender and replace it with a new one. Does anyone know a simpler solution?
