> As part of splitting log4j 2 into smaller components it is clear that the plugin system, and especially the annotation processor, could be split into a separate module. Also, to be more compliant with the Java module system it might be beneficial to generate a Class file with all the plugin information instead of the data file currently being generated.
> Moving the plugins to a separate module is going to impact anyone who has created a Log4j 2 plugin as the package for the plugin annotations must change.
