Gary Gregory commented on LOG4J2-1650:
--------------------------------------
Everyone has different needs for a minimal core, for you it is the rolling file
appended, it will be different for others. I agree that logging to a file seems
pretty basic of course. You are welcome to take a look at git master and
propose a plan and PR or set of PRs. I believe we have a good start toward
better modularization.

> Hello,
> log4j2 is ~1.3M. It is a lot to get started with logging and several parts
> are not mandatory to start and rarely needed all together like jackson, db,
> yaml (this one is not that big) etc...Also saw Generate class which is quite
> big but not sure it is needed at runtime and the annotation processor logic
> is never needed at runtime.
> Anyway, by comparison logback and log4j1 are ~500k so hopefully we could only
> pay the same price to get started with log4j2.
