Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-2621:
-------------------------------------
I have pushed the initial work to branch LOG4J2-2621. Feel free to take a
look. OSGi support still has to be added and support for existing plugins also
needs to be done. Right now it will look for the log4jplugin.dat file but will
try to use annotations from the new plugin module, which obviously don't exist
for release 2.x plugins.
> Create log4j-plugins module and use ServiceLoader to load plugins

> Key: LOG4J2-2621
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2621
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Plugins
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Ralph Goers
> Assignee: Ralph Goers
> Priority: Major
>
> As part of splitting log4j 2 into smaller components it is clear that the
> plugin system, and especially the annotation processor, could be split into a
> separate module. Also, to be more compliant with the Java module system it
> might be beneficial to generate a Class file with all the plugin information
> instead of the data file currently being generated.
> Moving the plugins to a separate module is going to impact anyone who has
> created a Log4j 2 plugin as the package for the plugin annotations must
> change.
