Gary Gregory commented on LOG4J2-1389:
--------------------------------------
Classes are private to make life easier on all of us in the sense that you
can't create a dependency on an internal class that can change WRT to source
and binary compatibility (BC).
We strive to guarantee 100% BC for the log4j-api module. We do not have the
same level guarantee for the log4j-core module. We do try to keep things stable
of course but we do want the flexibility to change code as we best see fit. The
classes you mention are definitively implementation details of Log4j.

> Key: LOG4J2-1389
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1389
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Question
> Components: Layouts
> Affects Versions: 2.5
> Reporter: Roland Jungnickel
> Priority: Minor
>
> I was wondering why the Jackson Layout classes like
> https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/blob/master/log4j-core/src/main/java/org/apache/logging/log4j/core/layout/JacksonFactory.java
> or
> https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/blob/master/log4j-core/src/main/java/org/apache/logging/log4j/core/layout/AbstractJacksonLayout.java
> are private. This makes extending them in other projects very hard.
