Matt Sicker updated LOG4J2-1775: -------------------------------- Description: Create what is essentially Log4j Boot for adding necessary dependencies to support the various plugins while at the same time promoting the use of log4j-api as a general purpose logging API standard. These modules would categorise all the various natural dependency barriers for a sort of pseudo module system that could also help in any necessary module metadata needed to support Java 9 and OSGi, categorise integration style unit tests to help test the starters themselves in an automated way, and organise the site in such a way as to make it easier to integrate different git repositories as we modularise the core in general. was: Create what is essentially Log4j Boot for adding necessary dependencies to support the various plugins while at the same time promoting the use of log4j-api as a general purpose logging API standard.

For the jms, jpa, and smtp (log4j-core) appenders, we could either make add in a default provider (e.g., ActiveMQ, Hibernate, and Sun Mail respectively) or split those into provider-specific starters. > Add starter pom files for dependency management > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4J2-1775 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1775 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: Epic > Components: Documentation, Plugins, Starters > Reporter: Matt Sicker > Labels: build, documentation, features, maven, test > > Create what is essentially Log4j Boot for adding necessary dependencies to > support the various plugins while at the same time promoting the use of > log4j-api as a general purpose logging API standard.
