ppkarwasz opened a new issue, #1967: URL: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/issues/1967
As described in [TypeParameterUnusedInFormals](https://errorprone.info/bugpattern/TypeParameterUnusedInFormals), these methods provide developers a false sense of _type safety_, whereas in reality they can cause `ClassCastException`s at runtime: - [ ] [Logger#getMessageFactory](https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/javadoc/log4j-api/org/apache/logging/log4j/Logger.html#getMessageFactory()), - [ ] [ReadOnlyStringMap#getValue](https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/javadoc/log4j-api/org/apache/logging/log4j/util/ReadOnlyStringMap.html#getValue(java.lang.String)), - [ ] [LoaderUtil#newInstanceOf(String)](https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/javadoc/log4j-api/org/apache/logging/log4j/util/LoaderUtil.html#newInstanceOf(java.lang.String)) and similar, - [ ] [ObjectThreadContextMap#getValue](https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/javadoc/log4j-api/org/apache/logging/log4j/spi/ObjectThreadContextMap.html#getValue(java.lang.String)). Changing/removing these methods is a binary compatible, but source incompatible change, hence this must be done in a major release. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
