-----------------------------------
Summary: Add nullability-related annotations for better
documentation and static analysis
Key: LOG4J2-3448
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3448
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: API
Reporter: Matt Sicker
Nullability annotations can be used by static analysis tools, IDEs, and even
Kotlin, to better check for potential NullPointerException errors or redundant
null checks. To avoid introducing an additional dependency here, these
annotations can be defined in the API. At minimum, some form of {{@Nonnull}}
and {{@Nullable}} should be added.
Alternatively, as these are compile-time annotations anyways, it may be
possible to use a third-party annotation library here as long as it's also
compile-time only.
