Adding my +1.

With that, the release passes with 3 binding +1 votes from me, Piotr, and
Matt.

(I will address Gary's Windows-related issues either in the mailing list or
in Slack.)

Log4j2 replacement of PropertyConfigurator APIs configureAndWatch and configure

[Viraj Jasani]

Hi,

Could you please help with log4j2 replacement for PropertyConfigurator APIs
configureAndWatch and configure?

For instance, this is the logic we have that we need to migrate to log4j2:



  protected void initLog() throws ServerException {
verifyDir(logDir);
LogManager.resetConfiguration();
File log4jFile = new File(configDir, name + "-log4j.properties");
if (log4jFile.exists()) {
  PropertyConfigurator.configureAndWatch(log4jFile.toString(), 10 *
1000); //every 10 secs
  log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Server.class);
} else {
  Properties props = new Properties();
  try {
InputStream is = getResource(DEFAULT_LOG4J_PROPERTIES);
try {
  props.load(is);
} finally {
  is.close();
}
  } catch (IOException ex) {
throw new ServerException(ServerException.ERROR.S03,
DEFAULT_LOG4J_PROPERTIES, ex.getMessage(), ex);
  }
  PropertyConfigurator.configure(props);
  log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Server.class);
  log.warn("Log4j [{}] configuration file not found, using default
configuration from classpath", log4jFile);
}
  }
