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