Ralph Goers resolved LOG4J2-2528.
---------------------------------
Resolution: Information Provided
> Why is 'packages' property needed within Configuration tag
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LOG4J2-2528
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2528
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Question
> Components: Appenders
> Reporter: Baris
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: customappender, plugin
>
> Hi there;
> I've created my custom log appender and was working good on my local machine
> on IntelliJ, but It took time to make it properly working on DEV environment
> after fat jar is created and deployed.
> The reason was 'packages' property inside the tag 'Configuration' in log4j2
> xml file. While it was working without the 'packages' property on my local,
> it doesn't work with fat jar.
> Why do I have to point the package of the custom appender file on log4j2 xml
> to make it scan and found my file? The custom appender class is already
> annotated with
> {code:java}
> @Plugin(...){code}
> and what I am expected to see is that log4j will find that class without any
> package name given on log4j2.xml.
