Description

The class in Core, AbstractManager, should track its LoggerContext.

Add:

    /**
     * Gets the logger context used to create this instance or null. The logger context is usually set when an appender
     * creates a manager and that appender is given a Configuration. Not all appenders are given a Configuration by
     * their factory method or builder.
     * 
     * @return the logger context used to create this instance or null.
     */
    public LoggerContext getLoggerContext()
