                 Key: LOG4J2-3267
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3267
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 2.17.0
            Reporter: Gotthard Witsch


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 change of changing this? Or what was the intention to keep it package-private?
