Log4j2 Application

First, change the pom.xml of Maven Project:

pom.xml

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

  <packaging>jar</packaging>

 	<properties>
		<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>

            <version>${log4j-slf4j-impl.version}</version>  
        </dependency>
        
        <!-- web工程需要包含log4j-web，非web工程不需要

		<!--需要使用log4j2的AsyncLogger需要包含disruptor-->  
        <dependency>  
            <groupId>com.lmax</groupId>  
            <artifactId>disruptor</artifactId>  
            <version>${disruptor.version}</version>  
        </dependency>
		<!-- ====================== log相关 end ========================== -->
	</dependencies>
</project>

Second, add log4j2.xml under the src/main/resources:

log4j2.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="INFO" monitorInterval="30">
	<Appenders>
		<!-- 文件输出，这里使用绝对地址 -->
		<File name="A1" fileName="F:/LOG_HOME/Ber-test.log">
            <PatternLayout pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%thread] %-5level %logger{100} -%msg%n"/>
        </File>
        <!-- 控制台输出，在生产环境中不使用 -->
		<Console name="CONSOLE" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
			<PatternLayout pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%thread] %-5level %logger{100} -%msg%n"/>
		</Console>
		<!-- 异步输出，缓存大小根据项目大小而定 -->
		<Async name="ASYNC" bufferSize="512">
            <AppenderRef ref="A1"/>
            <AppenderRef ref="CONSOLE"/>
        </Async>
	</Appenders>
	<Loggers>
		<!-- 配置日志级别，项目中应配置到ERROR级别 -->
		<Root level="TRACE">
			<AppenderRef ref="ASYNC" />
		</Root>
	</Loggers>
</Configuration>

Third, new App.java under the src/main/java:

App.java

package foo;

import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;

/**
 * Hello Log4j2!
 * @author Tracy_Sero
 */
public class App {
	
	private static final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(App.class);
	
    public static void main( String[] args ) {
    	
    	logger.trace("trace:Log4j2 Begin!");
    	
    	logger.debug("debug:Hello Log4j2!");
    	logger.info("info:Hello Log4j2!");
    	logger.warn("warn:Hello Log4j2!");
    	logger.error("error:Hello Log4j2!");
    	
    	logger.trace("trace:Log4j2 End!");
    	
    }
}

Finally, run App.java as Java Application and we will see the result:

    Run App.java

Console output:

2016-04-15 17:02:02 [main] TRACE foo.App -trace:Log4j2 Begin!
2016-04-15 17:02:02 [main] DEBUG foo.App -debug:Hello Log4j2!
2016-04-15 17:02:02 [main] INFO  foo.App -info:Hello Log4j2!
2016-04-15 17:02:02 [main] WARN  foo.App -warn:Hello Log4j2!
2016-04-15 17:02:02 [main] ERROR foo.App -error:Hello Log4j2!
2016-04-15 17:02:02 [main] TRACE foo.App -trace:Log4j2 End!

File output:

Okay, have a try!I'd love to hear your comments and inputs.
