             Summary: Remove need to pre-specify appender names et al. in property file config format
                 Key: LOG4J2-1308
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1308
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Configurators
    Affects Versions: 2.5, 2.4
            Reporter: 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.
