Description Chadwick Baatz 2012-08-20 14:40:41 UTC

Add the ability for the Extra's version of the RollingFileAppender to delete/purge files based on the number of log files on disk.

Note: 
My team has had the desire to enable time based log rotation with file puring for some time and we have extended the Log4j Extra's version of the RollingFileAppender to purge log files using an asynchronous task.  If the community is interested I been given the green light by our legal team to start the process to contribute this change.

The change has been tested by extending the existing unit tests using the SizeBasedRollingPolicy, TimeBasedRollingPolicy, and FilterBasedRollingPolicy.
