             Summary: ThrowableProxy fails if sun.reflect.misc.Trampoline is in 
logged stack trace
                 Key: LOG4J2-832
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-832
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 2.0.2, 2.0
         Environment: Java 1.7u60, Java 1.7u25
            Reporter: Seth Leger
            Priority: Blocker


When the Logger attempts to log a message with an exception stack trace, it 
uses the ThrowableProxy class to introspect classes in the stack trace frames.

If the class sun.reflect.misc.Trampoline is in the stack trace, the 
introspection performed by ThrowableProxy will fail causing a java.lang.Error 
to be thrown by the Logger call.

The sun.reflect.misc.Trampoline class is used by the 
sun.reflect.misc.MethodUtil class to perform reflection-based method 
invocations. MethodUtil is widely used by libraries to perform method 
invocations. I've encountered this problem when invoking methods over JMX and 
inside Jetty.

I am classifying this as a blocker because it means that any logging statement 
that is logging a Throwable message containing a MethodUtil-based reflection 
stack trace can cause a java.lang.Error to be thrown by Log4j2. 

I will attach a unit test for this failure.
