It would be nice to support xml config file format described here: https://wiki.apache.org/logging-log4j/Log4jXmlFormat

Hi @andibacher , thank you for your work on this. Do you plan to support this project and add such features to it going forward? I only ask because historically, this project has died and been resurrected several times now. I'm just hoping it stays alive to be compatible with the ongoing Qt releases.

This feature is also something I'd like to see ... it makes it very easy to configure log4j based apps. I see it's been open for over a year now, any status?

Hi,
we will keep the project alive and will keep it compatible with future QT releases.
Regarding the xml cofig file request we do no have any plans there. I looked into that some time ago and I think the project is not realy prepared to support differnt kind of configuration file like xml or json. That would probably need some rewrite of the existing Configuration mechanism (PropertyConfigurator,..) before adding other configuration file formats.
