             Summary: Better handling of %highlight pattern when using 
jul-bridge
                 Key: LOG4J2-2405
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2405
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: JUL adapter, Lookups, Pattern Converters
    Affects Versions: 2.11.1
            Reporter: Marco Herrn


When using the jul-bridge and %highlight in the pattern layout, LogLevels that 
are not mapped to log4j LogLevels incorrectly display "null" in front of the 
highlighted string.

See the following pattern:

{{pattern="%d %highlight{%-6p} [%c{1.}] (%t) %m%n"}}

that should display the loglevel with color highlighting.

The following log statements:

{{
    LOGGER.log(Level.SEVERE, "SEVERE");
    LOGGER.log(Level.WARNING,"WARN");
    LOGGER.log(Level.INFO, "INFO");
    LOGGER.log(Level.FINE, "FINE");
    LOGGER.log(Level.FINER, "FINER");
    LOGGER.log(Level.FINEST, "FINEST");
    LOGGER.log(Level.CONFIG, "CONFIG");
}}

will be displayed as in the attached picture.

As you can see the FINEST and CONFIG levels are not highlighted (which is 
acceptable), but are prefixed by "null", which is not acceptable.

I think it would be well enough to support setting the style for such unknown 
log levels like:

{{pattern="%d %highlight{%-6p}{FINEST=black, CONFIG=blue} [%c{1.}] (%t) %m%n"}}

This would also allow to set a color different than black for these log levels.
