XML and JSON layouts and listeners are all Jackson-based and in svn. Gary

Gary said something about using Jackson for that, but I'm not sure on the specifics. It sounded like something like an optional plugin based on the presence of Jackson. Considering we use Jackson for JSON/YAML configuration formats, it would make sense to keep anything depending on it in log4j-core.

Log4j with only XML configuration shouldn’t require Jackson. If it does it should be addressed.

And that implementation will most likely bring in the API as well. The JMS API dependecy is already declared as provided, from log4j-core/pom.xml: <!-- Used for JMS appenders (needs an implementation of course) --> <dependency> <groupId>org.jboss.spec.javax.jms</groupId> <artifactId>jboss-jms-api_1.1_spec</artifactId> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> <!-- Used for JPA appenders (needs an implementation of course) --> <dependency> <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId> <artifactId>javax.persistence</artifactId> <scope>compile</scope> <optional>true</optional> </dependency> On Wed, May 14, 2014 at 12:48 PM, Gary Gregory <garydgreg...@gmail.com> wrote: Why? How would that bring in the right jar in a standalone app? Are you assuming the app lives in a container like a J2EE server?
