Summary: How to add a custom appender
Key: LOG4J2-743
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-743
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Question
Components: Appenders
Affects Versions: 2.0
Environment: Windows Server 2003,jdk1.6.0_43,Eclipse Kepler Service Release 1

I doubt that my custom appender doesn't exist in Log4j2Plugin.dat ?
In the log4j-2.0-rc1,I found PluginManager class,containing a main method which can generate binary file Log4j2Plugin.dat, but this method is deprecated in the latest version.I wonder if there is another way to do this ?
