             Summary: Add Logger/LoggerProvider to support new Log4j 2 to improve performance
                 Key: JBLOGGING-95
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBLOGGING-95
             Project: JBoss Logging
          Issue Type: Enhancement
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: jboss-logging-spi
    Affects Versions: 3.2.0.Beta1
            Reporter: Nicholas Williams
            Assignee: David Lloyd
            Priority: Minor


The new Log4j 2 project will be released soon. It has major improvements over Log4j and Logback. Currently, JBoss Logging can log to Log4j 2 indirectly by way of SLF4J (if the log4j-slf4j artifact is on the classpath) or the Log4j 1.2 API (if the log4j-1.2-api artifact is on the classpath and when JBLOGGING-94 is fixed). However, performance would be improved if JBoss Logging could log directly to the Log4j 2 API.

Looks like we just need a new {{Log4j2Logger}} and {{Log4j2LoggerProvider}}. I'll try to submit a pull request in the next few weeks. I'm currently working on other tasks in Log4j 2.
