Create a better error message if the time zone argument is missing from the %z format pattern --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: LOGMGR-129 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/LOGMGR-129 Project: JBoss Log Manager Issue Type: Task Reporter: James Perkins Assignee: Bartosz Spyrko-Śmietanko Using the {{%z}} format pattern and not including a time zone argument results in an NPE. A better error message should be thrown indicating an argument is required. {code:title=Example pattern} %z{GMT} {code} A bonus would be to possibly add a warning, once only though, if the time {{%d}} was processed before the time zone {{%z}}.
