Gary Gregory commented on LOG4J2-1741:
--------------------------------------
Even though it is more code, I think we should use Builders when we (Log4j
devs) write code examples to promote future proofing for binary compatibility.
It might be a bit of YAGNI, but I've not met an Appender yet that does not
another feature at some point.
> scala: add support for creating custom plugins

> I tried to add a custom appender using Scala but the pattern of having a
> class with an Plugin annotation and a static method on that class with a
> PluginFactory or PluginBuilderFactory annotation doesn't seem to work in
> Scala.
> In Scala, you can create a companion object to a class where you can
> implement the equivalent of static methods but these are not the same class
> under the hood. The Scala compiler builds 2 or more classes, the companion
> object gets a class name with a $ appended to it. I think this is affecting
> the lookup for the method with the Factory annotation.
