ppkarwasz opened a new pull request, #2172:
URL: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/pull/2172
**Remark**: the target of this PR is a feature branch.
Plugin annotations are employed by `log4j-docgen` to generate documentation
(cf. #1956)
Since the tool is compiled using Java 8 bytecode, we need to split
`log4j-plugins` into:
* an API part that contains mostly annotations and interfaces,
* an implementation part that can use all the improvements of Java 17.
In this PR:
* we move the constraint annotation into a new artifact,
* we make the `value` property of the `@Constraint` annotation optional,
* we introduce a `ConstraintValidatorFactory` that produces the appropriate
`ConstraintValidator` for each annotation. This way we don't need to reference
`ConstraintValidator` implementations in the constraint annotations.
* we add the `2.x` constraint annotations that were lost in `main`.
This PR leaves the `o.a.l.l.plugins` package split between two artifacts, so
it can not be merged to `main`.
