             Summary: Integrate Log4J with Java 9's platform logging API
                 Key: LOG4J2-2183
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2183
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Nicolai Parlog


[JEP 264: Platform Logging API and Service|http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/264] introduced an API around [`java.lang.System.Logger` and `java.lang.System.LoggerFinder`|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java/lang/System.LoggerFinder.html] that the JDK uses to log internal messages, e.g. those from Swing and JavaFX (this does not extend to JVM logging). Third-party loggers like Log4J can integrate with this via [services|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java/util/ServiceLoader.html], so they can become the backend for these messages (instead of JUL).

Adapting to this API is not very hard - here's a [proof of concept for SLF4J|https://github.com/nicolaiparlog/slf4j/commit/e0c7780bdae254535a6e9c053b2af564085ffe3b].
