> Please remove Maven dependency on slf4j-jdk14
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CXF-2583
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-2583
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Build system
> Affects Versions: 2.2.4
> Reporter: Chris Wilson
> Assignee: Daniel Kulp
> Original Estimate: 0.25h
> Remaining Estimate: 0.25h
>
> The Maven POM for CXF 2.2.4 contains the following lines:
> <dependency>
> <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
> <artifactId>slf4j-jdk14</artifactId>
> <version>1.5.8</version>
> </dependency>
> This forces the SLF4J JDK14 binding to be downloaded and included in any
> project using this POM. Even if we want to use Log4J instead, we have no
> choice about the JDK14 binding being included in our project.
> We're using the Maven-Eclipse plugin to generate our Eclipse configuration.
> This results in slf4j-jdk14 being added to the classpath. Again this appears
> to be unavoidable.
> SLF4J picks the first binding in the classpath. This appears to be
> unavoidable. There is no documented way to avoid it. Because J comes before
> L, it always picks the JDK binding over the Log4J binding. This makes it
> impossible to use Log4J instead.
> I don't think any project should force users to choose a particular logging
> binding, as this defeats the whole point of SLF4J. Please just depend on the
> API, and let the developer or user install whatever actual binding they wish.
