Ralph Goers reopened LOG4J2-3267:
---------------------------------
Reopening as the change had to be reverted. It was causing the build to fail.
Making the method public doesn't work because it takes a parameter of type Type
which is also package private. I am not sure exposing that is a good idea.
Perhaps it would be better to create public methods that hard-code the Type. So
{code:java}
public void generateCustom(final String[] args, final PrintStream printStream) {
generateCustom(args, Type.Custom, printStream);
}{code}
> Getting public access to
> org.apache.logging.log4j.core.tools.Generate#generate method for automated
> code generation

> Hi devs,
> I'd like to automate the creation of a custom logger with gradle.
> Sticking to the documentation i've tried to use
> org.apache.logging.log4j.core.tools.ExtendedLoggerGenerator as mentioned in
> [Log4j – Custom Log Levels
> (apache.org)|https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/customloglevels.html#CustomLoggers]
> Unfortunately the output can only be consumed from console, making it very
> hard for automation.
> Investigating the implemenation led me to
> org.apache.logging.log4j.core.tools.Generate.generate.
> Unfortunately the required method is package private.
> Therefore it would be helpful to change the generate-method's visibility to
> public to gain access in gradle scripts.
> {code:java}
> static void generate(final String[] args, final Type type, final PrintStream
> printStream) {code}
> Is there any chance of changing this? Or what was the intention to keep it
> package-private?
