Matt Sicker commented on LOG4J2-1650:
-------------------------------------
Well, this might be harder to support when everyone wants fast startup times
and compiled-in things. There are still things to remove from core, but the jar
is still around 1.5 MB somehow.

> Hello,
> log4j2 is ~1.3M. It is a lot to get started with logging and several parts
> are not mandatory to start and rarely needed all together like jackson, db,
> yaml (this one is not that big) etc...Also saw Generate class which is quite
> big but not sure it is needed at runtime and the annotation processor logic
> is never needed at runtime.
> Anyway, by comparison logback and log4j1 are ~500k so hopefully we could only
> pay the same price to get started with log4j2.
