Caleb Cushing updated LOG4J2-2971:
----------------------------------
Description:
I suspect this would be an API breaking change, but it seems like the `Level`
class should be an enum instead. I don't really understand why it's not. Tried
to write this code with picocli only to be surprised when it didn't work.
{code:java}
@CommandLine.Option(
names = { "--level"},
defaultValue = "error",
showDefaultValue = CommandLine.Help.Visibility.ALWAYS,
description = "enable debug logging"
)
private Level logLevel = Level.ERROR;{code}
this means that picocli and many libraries wouldn't be able to simply generate
options. In this case I'll have to do quite a bit more work to tell picocli all
the possible values.
