Description

Storing the .dat file in the current location org/apache/logging/... makes it part of that package. Thus, every JAR that has plugins ends up trying to export the plugins package which causes conflicts.

This file needs to be stored in a location in META-INF instead so that it isn't included in the Export-Package attribute.
