slf4j version conflict
----------------------
Key: GERONIMODEVTOOLS-781
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMODEVTOOLS-781
Project: Geronimo-Devtools
Issue Type: Bug
Components: eclipse-plugin
Affects Versions: 3.0-beta-1
Reporter: Jarek Gawor
I tired installing "Maven Integration for Eclipse" plugin via Eclipse
Marketplace on Eclipse 3.6.2 Java EE with the GEP plugin and Rational OSGI
tooling installed. The Maven plugin installed fine but it failed to start. I
tracked down the problem to a conflict in org.slf4j APIs. The GEP runtime
plugins export the org.slf4j.* APIs with the given Geronimo version. For
example, the GEP v3 runtime plugin exports org.slf4j.api with version 3. That
confuses other plugins in Eclipse and causes the Maven plugin not to start.
I'm not sure 1) why we export the org.slf4j.* API out of GEP plugins in the
first place and 2) if we need to export them why are we exporting them with the
Geronimo version instead of the actual SLF4J version.
