Actually, I just created LOG4J2-1627 for this and I specifically did bring Java 9 modules into the discussion because they should at least be considered along with the Java 8 profiles. Right now I am sure we have stuff that would create problems with trying to run in compact profiles 1 and 2.
That said, my primary motivation isn’t to split things up for those reasons. It is simply because it takes me a minimum of 4 hours to perform a release. That is because I run a rat check on the project, then build the project, then build the site. Only after I check all of those do I start the release build, which by itself takes 45 minutes. I then have to build the site again against the release tag. Considering that just running mvn clean install takes about 25 minutes now you can see why this becomes a large effort. And it is getting worse with every release. This is primarily due to the tests run in core. There is also a huge delay that occurs after running the unit tests and before running the functional tests. I am attributing this to the time the failsafe plugin must be spending just to figure out which test classes to call. I plan to address that by moving the functional tests to their own module.
