[jira] [Comment Edited] (LOG4J2-1308) Remove need to pre-specify
appender names et al. in property file config format
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1308?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15182326#comment-15182326 ]

Can you update the description with what the configuration would look like after the change you propose? Also, when I first read it I thought that "backwards compatibility" referred to the 1.2 properties format, but now I think you mean the format we introduced in 2.4. It is the latter, right?

> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Configurators
> Affects Versions: 2.4, 2.5
> Reporter: Matt Sicker
> Assignee: Matt Sicker
>
> In the .properties config file format, several plugin types currently require you to declare names ahead of time. For instance:
> {code}
> appenders = foo, bar, baz
> appender.foo.type = Console
> appender.bar.type = File
> appender.baz.type = List
> # ...
> {code}
> These names should be inferable by their first usage. Then the appenders, filters, loggers, etc., properties can all be safely ignored for backwards compatibility.
