> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.4

> There's already a Pull Request on Github: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/pull/14
> *Explanation:*
> If you have a project you use log4j2 as logging framework and you have a class which is annotated with the log4j2 {{Plugin}} annotation and you have a different class with a not existing annotation, you can not compile the project. (You can run in that problem by forget a dependency or delete a jar, where the annotation is defined in.) This is rather normal, but the java compiler produces a "wrong" error message. The problem - the not existing annotation - is covered by a log4j2 error message and so you get something like:
> {code}
> java.lang.NullPointerException: Plugin annotation is null.

> -------------------------------------------------------------
> xxx/SomeClass.java:[3,1] error: cannot find symbol
> xxx/SomeClass.java:[3,1] error: cannot find symbol
> {code}
> The problem is the {{RoundEnvironment}}. Because it returns an element in the list ({{getElementsAnnotatedWith}}) that's {{null}}, so the {{collectPlugins}} method in the {{PluginProcessor}} tries to call accept on {{null}} and we get a NPE. A simple check for null solves the issue and the compiler error is shown again.
