As of r966020, the OpenJPA trunk (2.1.0-SNAPSHOT) now has the following long sought after improvements -
OPENJPA-1732 LogFactory adapter for SLF4J Now, the SLF4J API can be used by setting openjpa.Log=slf4j and including the required slf4-api and backend adapter on the classpath. OPENJPA-1735 Mark commons-logging as provided in the build to remove transient maven dependency Now, users of openjpa-2.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar no longer need to include a dependency exclusion for commons-logging. Enjoy! Donald
