Thanks, although IMO it would have been better to use
<manifest>
<addDefaultImplementationEntries>true</addDefaultImplementationEntries>
<addDefaultSpecificationEntries>true</addDefaultSpecificationEntries>
</manifest>
rather than hard-coding the values.
Also, the pom <name> is wrong, it should be
<name>Commons Logging</name>
as per the existing pom.xml in logging/trunk.
The pom.xml for empty_logging should also have as parent either the
commons parent, or at least the apache parent.
That would allow the use of the default manifest entries as above.
