-----------------------------------
Summary: Deprecate package scanning in 2.x and remove in 3.0
Key: LOG4J2-3644
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3644
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Task
Components: Plugins
Affects Versions: 2.19.0
Reporter: Ralph Goers
Fix For: 2.19.1
Package scanning is been discouraged since the Log4j 2 annotation processor was
first created. Users who use it typically either aren't aware it isn't
necessary or because they are creating shaded jars and remove the package data
file.
Because Log4j 2.x includes the annotation processor in the log4j-core jar most
users have the packaging information present whether they realize it or not, so
the upgrade to 3.x shouldn't impact too many people since they would have had
to explicitly disable the annotation processor or remove the data file.
Furthermore, Log4j 3 will use the JDK ServiceLoader to locate the plugin
information which is supported out of the box by the maven shade plugin.
