I initially thought of adding a version=2
to our Log4j 2 properties file format. I am experimenting with code to read in 1.2 properties files to configure Log4j 2, and I'd like an easy way to tell if I'm dealing with a version 2 properly file. I thought that would be cleaner that looking for "log4j.rootLogger" and deciding that means 1.2. I was thinking of putting a new ConfigurationFactory in log4j-api which means it would kick in automatically if on the CP. It could look for a log4j.rootLogger and do nothing if it does not find one. But would Log4j 2 then init itself correctly? I'm only thinking simple cases at first, you gotta start somewhere: Console.
