Description

When using the maven-bundle-plugin to build a custom Log4j plugin, the Log4j2Plugins.dat file is not included by default. Adding this config, <Include-Resource>${project.build.directory}/classes/</Include-Resource>, to the plugin will ensure the dat file is included in the output bundle for custom plugins.
