             Summary: Self written Appender stopped working
                 Key: LOG4J2-697
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-697
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 2.0-rc2
         Environment: Eclipse 4.3 on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, some 
1.6_0_X JDK with x > 43.
            Reporter: Sebastian Oerding
            Priority: Critical


We had a self written appender which stopped working when switching from rc-1 
to rc-2.

I tried to enable Annoation Processing in Eclipse as I assume that this is due 
to changed stuff around the Log4j2Plugins.dat. However I get no hint that the 
annotations are actually processed. Windows finds no new file on system (but 
even fails to find the existing Log4j2Plugins.dat). Furthermore setting the 
status in the configuration to "trace" I got the impression that only the 
Log4j2Plugins.dat from the log4j2 jar is loaded.

I'm not sure whether this is really a critical issue for more users, for us it 
is a blocker. Taking the problems into account we had with Log4j2 so far 
(memory leaks, API breaks, ...) we are wondering whether it is worth to 
completely write the logging by ourselves and get rid of log4j2 or switch back 
to something like SLF4j.
