A couple of points:
1. I believe JsonTemplateLayout was recently modified to also use the plugin
system.
2. Now that api, plugin and core are JPMS modules I’d like to modify all the
others that
could reasonably be made modules, make another pass at core in eliminating
dependencies and hiding in
I've updated https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2803 with a
better overview of the existing systems, the idea behind the new
system, and some other details. I have some written notes about the
state of the mean-bean-machine branch relating to what's left to
integrate which is essentially

module-info files)
