Hi all, Is a truly small core possible for 3.0?
What I mean by that is that I'd like to run an app with log4j without an XML configuration, or JSON, or YAML, or the whole plugin infrastructure, scanning, or reading a plugin metadata db. Just a properties files. And if I can only run with just a properties file, I should be able to run only with system properties. With the addition in master of a separate log4j-plugins module, on top of log4j-core, 3.0 is feeling heavier and heavier, an so complicated. I am not an fan of inventing a whole configuration and plugin system, I'd rather depend one even if it is copying it. It just feels like not-invented-here syndrome. As an aside, I have never liked that we have a jar called log4j-core but on the web site it's called "Log4j Implementation", it's confusing. For 3.0, it would be nice to make it obvious that what depends on java.base be in a module called log4j-base instead of core. Gary
