> Allow Builders to be completely generic. This is not just supporting {{Builder<T>}}, which works in 2.6.2, but to allow declarations like {{Builder<B extends Builder<B>>}} combined with setters that return {{B}}.
> {code:java}
>     public static class Builder<B extends Builder<B>> implements org.apache.logging.log4j.core.util.Builder<ValidatingPluginWithGenericBuilder> {
>         @PluginBuilderAttribute
>         @Required(message = "The name given by the builder is null")
>         private String name;
>         public B withName(final String name) {
>             this.name = name;
>             return asBuilder();
>         }
>         @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
>         private B asBuilder() {
>             return (B) this;
>         }
>         @Override
>         public ValidatingPluginWithGenericBuilder build() {
>             return new ValidatingPluginWithGenericBuilder(name);
>         }
>     }
> {code}
> (I have a patch for this)
> (The next step (and ticket) will be to allow to use a Builder that extends another Builder.)
