问题
使用maven-shade-plugin或者maven-assembly-plugin插件把项目打成一个可执行JAR包时，如果你引入了log4j2会出现如下问题：
ERROR StatusLogger Unrecognized format specifier [d]
ERROR StatusLogger Unrecognized conversion specifier [d] starting at position 16 in conversion pattern.
ERROR StatusLogger Unrecognized format specifier [thread]
ERROR StatusLogger Unrecognized conversion specifier [thread] starting at position 25 in conversion pattern.
ERROR StatusLogger Unrecognized format specifier [level]
ERROR StatusLogger Unrecognized conversion specifier [level] starting at position 35 in conversion pattern.
ERROR StatusLogger Unrecognized format specifier [logger]
ERROR StatusLogger Unrecognized conversion specifier [logger] starting at position 47 in conversion pattern.
ERROR StatusLogger Unrecognized format specifier [msg]
ERROR StatusLogger Unrecognized conversion specifier [msg] starting at position 54 in conversion pattern.
ERROR StatusLogger Unrecognized format specifier [n]
ERROR StatusLogger Unrecognized conversion specifier [n] starting at position 56 in conversion pattern.
解决方法
pom中添加如下配置。

原因分析
log4j2 是采用的插件式编程，当log4j2包编译时，或者含有log4j2插件的包编译时，会将需要加载的插件信息放在META-INF/org/apache/logging/log4j/core/config/plugins/Log4j2Plugins.dat这个文件中（包括官方logj42的原生插件），然后项目启动的时候，log4j2会在各个jar包的META-INF目录下扫描这个插件信息文件，然后去加载插件。
但是当项目被打成一个jar包时，如果两个不同的jar包中都有Log4j2Plugins.dat 这个文件，就会出现问题，其中一个文件会被另一个覆盖，导致项目启动的时候有一个文件中的插件不能被正常加载，导致报错。
解决这个问题就是当所有jar包被打成一个jar包时，需要对各个jar包中的Log4j2Plugins.dat进行合并，这就是maven-shade-plugin.log4j2-cachefile-transformer这个包所做的事情了。
