MyPatternParser

public class MyPatternParser extends PatternParser
Example showing how to extend PatternParser to recognize additional conversion characters. The examples shows that minimum and maximum width and alignment settings apply for "extension" conversion characters just as they do for PatternLayout recognized characters.

In this case MyPatternParser recognizes %# and outputs the value of an internal counter which is also incremented at each call. See source code for more details.
