[jboss-dev] hibernate 3.3.0 upgrade, slf4j introduction into jbossas

[Scott Stark]

The tie into the jbossas server/deployer layer for this would be a 
proper expression of the logging framework version dependency. This 
should be possible with the new class loading layer. It would be nice if 
an the logging version dependencies could be collected and a 
DeploymentStage.DESCRIBE level class loader setup the api and 
configuration mapping layers.
