Stefan,
I think I have found a reasonable solution. I implemented it and it
passes the integration tests as well as solves the problem I am
experiencing in OSGi. Here is what I did.
1. I updated the parent pom by adding the following properties:
<slf4j.api.version.min>1.7</slf4j.api.version.min>
<slf4j.api.version.max>1.8</slf4j.api.version.max>
2. Then in each child pom that had an import declaration for org.slf4j,
I changed the import statement from:
org.slf4j;version=${slf4j.api.version},
to:
org.slf4j;version="[${slf4j.api.version.min},${slf4j.api.version.max})",
This approach has some drawbacks:
1. You now have three places that may need to be updated when the
version of slf4j is updated.
2. BND (which is called by maven-bundle-plugin) is not the one deciding
the what version should be used.
Now, supposedly BND can choose a version range, but I could not get
consistent behavior from the build using that approach.
The changes are pretty simple, although it does touch the majority of
the POMs. Let me know if you'd like to me submit a patch.
Thanks,
Ben
