Josh Elser updated ACCUMULO-3641:
---------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 1.7.0)
1.8.0
> Mark slf4j implementation dependencies "optional"
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ACCUMULO-3641
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3641
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: build
> Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
> Fix For: 1.8.0
>
>
> After ACCUMULO-1242 is complete, we should not have any more direct usage of
> log4j or any other particular slf4j implementation. As such, we should mark
> log4j (and any other slf4j implementations) as optional in the dependencies
> section of the POM.
> ["Optional" dependencies in
> Maven|http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-optional-and-excludes-dependencies.html]
> are not automatically inherited transitively when other projects depend on
> ours. This is important, because if somebody writes a client application
> which depends on Accumulo code, we should not be forcing that application
> into a particular logging implementation. Marking it optional is preferable
> to forcing them to exclude the transitive dependencies in order to provide
> their own. It will also prevent conflicts when they have dependencies on
> other projects, which require a particular conflicting implementation of
> slf4j.
