Andy Seaborne commented on LOG4J2-673:
--------------------------------------
In case it helps anyone coming to this ticket:
When there is a dependency on log4j-web, there are two Log4j2Plugins.dat files
to be merged in order to shade.
> plugin preloading fails in shaded jar files

> Key: LOG4J2-673
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-673
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.0-rc2, 2.1
> Reporter: Michael Semb Wever
> Assignee: Matt Sicker
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: annotations, compiler, plugins
> Fix For: 3.0.0
>
> Attachments:
> 0002-LOG4J2-673-plugin-preloading-fails-in-shaded-jar-fil.patch,

>
>
> Support for plugin preloading through the standard
> javax.annotation.processing tool was adding in LOG4J2-595
> But the plugin processor always creates and stores the processed "Plugin"
> annotated classes into the same file. This works fine when the classpath
> consists of individual jar files, but fails when shaded jar files are used.
> A tested fix exists at
> https://github.com/finn-no/logging-log4j2/tree/bugfix/LOG4J2-673
> There's also a github pull request and a manual diff attached. (I can clean
> up anything not used afterwards)
> The fix saves the dat file in a location under META-INF that matches the
> shared package all the processed plugins are found under.
> The package attribute in the config file is then used so that multiple dat
> files can be loaded at runtime.
> This means that the package attribute is no longer deprecated.
> This has been tested against
> https://github.com/finn-no/log4j2-logstash-jsonevent-layout
