Due to classpath separation in OSGi based projects, loading of custom Appenders fails with e.g.

log4j:ERROR Could not create an Appender. Reported error follows.

The manifest should define a buddy policy to enable buddy class loading, as described in Context Class Loader Enhancements.

I'd suggest to add Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: registered. Then, the issue above is fixed by adding Eclipse-RegisterBuddy: org.apache.log4j to the bundle that provides the custom appender.

Adds the buddy policy 'registered' to the
manifest so that custom appenders provided
by OSGi bundles can be loaded via buddy
class loading.

The providing bundle must define a
corresponding Eclipse-RegisterBuddy header.
