Description

Appenders and related classes should be able to work on a logging event interface and not be tied to a specific logging API and its native LoggingEvent class. The logging event interface should be readily implementable as a thin wrapper around established logging events such as o.a.l.spi.LoggingEvent and java.util.logging.LogRecord. log4j 2.0 appenders should be usable as java.util.logging.Handler's with a simple adapter.
