First, my initial goal was to make it so that you could use the core features of Log4j 2 with no third party dependencies. I am not sure if that is true any more but I see no reason to introduce one for configuration.
Second, I don’t really see what benefit we would be getting. Perhaps that is because in the links Simone provided I don’t see anything that ties to the configuration he is manipulating back into Log4j Third, the algorithm used in parsing the configuration is really simple - the configuration is converted into a Node tree. BaseConfiguration then processes the Node tree to create the actual configuration. So if you want to create a new configuration type all you have to do is make sure that when it is done a proper Node tree is constructed. If I wanted to create a configuration based on Groovy or bean shell I know exactly what would need to be done. I have no idea how that could be accomplished using modello. In short, nothing I’ve seen yet has convinced me that there is anything to gain by switching.
