Hello everyone.

I am trying to create my own appender using JPMS service in 3.0.0-beta3. This is my code:

Apparently two small bugs made their way to `3.0.0-beta3`([1] and [2]), which make compilation under JPMS challenging, but not impossible.

You can find a complete example of a custom appender on my repo:

https://github.com/copernik-eu/bug-reproducibility/tree/main/log4j-core-3.0.0-beta3-jpms

[1] https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/issues/3250
[2] https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/issues/3251
import org.apache.logging.log4j.plugins.model.PluginEntry;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.plugins.model.PluginService;

public class PluginProvider extends PluginService {

This is usually not needed, you just need to have `log4j-plugin-processor` on the annotation processor path. If you disabled the automatic annotation processor detection, you also need to add `org.apache.logging.log4j.plugin.processor.PluginProcessor` to the list of annotation processors.

The plugin processor generates a class named `<pluginPackage>.plugins.Log4jPlugins`, where `<pluginPackage>`:

* Can be provided explicitly using `-ApluginPackage=...`,

* If it is not provided explicitly, it is the common prefix of all your Log4j Core plugins.

If you just have `com.example.FooAppender`, the generated `PluginService` will be: `com.example.plugins.Log4jPlugins`.

Result:
Exception in thread "main" org.apache.logging.log4j.plugins.di.spi.ReflectionException     at org.apache.logging.log4j.plugins@3.0.0.beta3/org.apache.logging.log4j.plugins.di.spi.ReflectionAgent.invokeMethod(ReflectionAgent.java:84)     at org.apache.logging.log4j.plugins@3.0.0.beta3/org.apache.logging.log4j.plugins.di.DefaultInstanceFactory.lambda$registerBundleMethod$13(DefaultInstanceFactory.java:306)

Do you have a message and a cause for this exception? If this is not issue #3250 I mentioned before, please share the entire stack trace.


So, java dies in main class where I initializer my logger.
Could anyone say: 1) how to fix it 2) How to use custom Namespace for my appender in configuration?
For example, if I do PluginEntry.builder().setNamespace("FooNS")?

The purpose of namespaces is to distinguish between plugins that have the same name, but have different functions. For example the `<Replace>` configuration element is in the "Core" namespace, while the `%replace` pattern is in the `Converter` space. In general you shouldn't be concerned by namespaces:

* The plugins that correspond to XML elements in the configuration file MUST be in the "Core" namespace.
