--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hm, this is now giving me pause. I'm not sure why the log4j-1.2-api module is a
fragment instead of its own bundle like logj-api. At first glance, it would
seem simpler to make log4j-1.2-api a bundle as well.
Do any of the other contributors know? I'll ask on the dev mailing list,
subscribe there if you have not already.

> Key: LOG4J2-3319
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3319
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core, Log4j 1.2 bridge, OSGi
> Affects Versions: 2.12.4
> Reporter: Benjamin Röhl
> Priority: Major
>
> h2. Status Quo
> The "log4j core" and "log4j 1.2 api" library (and others as well) are build
> as bundle.
> The compatibility library is build as fragment.
> h2. Problem
> Using the log4j core and 1.2 api library in Eclipse-runtime (via [target
> platform|https://wiki.eclipse.org/PDE/Target_Definitions]) does not properly
> work out, since the _1.2 api_ fragment bundle is extending the _core_
> bundle's api, by declaring extra _Export-Packages_ statements for log4j 1.2
> api.
> Unfortunately Eclipse is not capable of resolving those extra added API (via
> {_}Export-Packages{_}) from a fragement, even though at runtime it is
> supposed to work.
> h2. Solution Proposal
> Add the following bundle manifest header to _core_ bundle, to support the
> extra added API by the _1.2 api_ fragement bundle:
> {code:java}
> Eclipse-ExtensibleAPI: true{code}
> Please see _The Eclipse-ExtensibleAPI Header_ section of Eclipse's [Platform
> Plugin-In Developer
> Guide|https://help.eclipse.org/latest/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fmisc%2Fbundle_manifest.html]
> documentation.
