Hi, So by the sounds of it the slf4j is being pulled transitively and you need to determine from where. You can use the ant report task which makes ivy generate a nice dependency report for you. You can then see which direct dependency includes slf4j. I know for a fact that all gora-core dependency will pull it.
Once you've highlighted where it is coming from you can make the relevant exclusion ok.

I have to say that I also changed the same thing in pom.xml as well: > > <dependency> > <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId> > <artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId> > <version>1.4.3</version> > <optional>true</optional> > </dependency> > > but I still end up with the 1.6.1 version. I don't know how exactly ant and ivy and pom work together, so I am asking if there is any other config file that I am missing, or why while it is working fine for solr and zookeeper it is not affecting the slf4j? > > thanks, > > > On 02/16/2013 09:42 AM, Lewis John Mcgibbney wrote: >> >> A solution would be to manually prune the dependencies which are fetched >> via Ivy.
