Description

The documentation states the PluginManager looks at packages specified by system property "log4j.plugin.packages" (e.g. see https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/plugins.html)

This issue LOG4J2-745 mentions the introduction of the system property, and in its related commits on 2014-09-14, the above documentation was added to the sources. However, the source code (PluginManager.java, nor any other source) does NOT seem to take the property into account. (I can't find it anywhere in the code, and the corresponding patch code attached to that issue doesn't seem to be merged in?).
