Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-2783:
-------------------------------------
Applied the change to implement this but further testing related to LOG4J2-2795
shows this may not be the best approach as loading all the plugin classes
during startup impacts the startup time.
> PluginService should use a list of Class references instead of names

> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Improvement

> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Matt Sicker

> Fix For: 3.0.0

> The {{PluginService}} class can be updated to return a list of plugin entries
> that refer directly to the {{Class<?>}} instances rather than their class
> names. This would avoid the need to lazily load classes, avoids problems with
> module systems, and prevents the use of optional dependencies which makes it
> much easier to write proper JPMS-compatible modules.
