Customizing log messages with log4j2

Hi all,

I am working on adding some new log parameters to my log messages. I could
read that log4j2 provide the option to add new Converters without extending
PatternLayout. I have tried out a sample custom PatternConverter in my OSGi
environment. I got the error below, which is already reported in [1].
I haven't tried extending the patternLayout yet to address my requirement.
What is the recommended way with log4j2 to customize logging information?
Can we continue extending the patternLayout with log4j2 too?

starting at position 28 in conversion pattern.

Thanks,
