[I] Custom ConfigurationFactory implementation added to the classpath are not loaded (logging-log4j2)

["thejas-stripe (via GitHub)" <gi...@apache.org>]

thejas-stripe opened a new issue, #1997:
URL: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/issues/1997

   ## Description
   The document [here](https://logging.apache.org/log4j/log4j-2.12.4/manual/customconfig.html) under `Understanding ConfigurationFactory` says 
   
   ```
   3. A ConfigurationFactory implementation can be added to the classpath 
   and configured as a plugin in the "ConfigurationFactory" category. 
   The Order annotation can be used to specify the relative priority 
   when multiple applicable ConfigurationFactories are found.
   ```
   
   This is not true. We need to explicitly specify the packages to look for  using 
   
   `PluginManager.addPackage("com.abc.xyl");` during start up before log4j initialization. 
   
   This is not documented anywhere. 
   
   
   ## Configuration
   
   **Version:** [2.22.0]
   
   **Operating system:** [ALL]
   
   **JDK:** [ALL]
   
   
   ## Reproduction
   https://github.com/eugenp/tutorials/blob/master/logging-modules/log4j2/src/test/java/com/baeldung/logging/log4j2/xmlconfiguration/XMLConfigLogIntegrationTest.java#L24 
   
   [An isolated test reproducing the test.
   JUnit tests similar to the ones in the code base are extremely appreciated.]

   @thejas-stripe,
   
   In order to be automatically detected, plugins must be compiled with the annotation processor present in `log4j-core`. In your project you explicitly pass `-proc:none` to your compiler's options. Remove that line and your example should work.
