> compared with log4j-api-2.8.jar, we can see the codes marked with '+' are the new added codes in 2.10.0, The Exceptions occur because in line 81, context is null. But checking getBundleContext method in OSGI, we can see getBundleContext could return null if this bundle is not in the STARTING, ACTIVE, or STOPPING states or this bundle is a fragment bundle.
> In my case, bundle org.apache.logging.log4j.coreconf is a fragment bundle. So How to handle fragment in this case and let NullPointerException not ccur. Thanks.
