You made your layout a plugin?  If so, make sure you specify its package =
name in the packages attribute of the configuration element.  Then =
specify

<MyLayout attr1=3D=93=94 attr2=3D=93=94/>

Where MyLayout is the name you gave your Layout plugin and attr1 and =
attr2 are attributes you defined for the layout.

Log4j 2 uses plugins so you never specify the name of the class in the =
configuration.
