Mark Proctor updated JBRULES-1254:
----------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: FUTURE
                       (was: 4.0.2)

We've decided to leave this as is for 4.0.2. But we'll look to apply this after the branch is made.

> log4j and slf4j-log4j12 should be test scoped, because only for the tests they are needed, but users can choose their logging implementation themselves.
> In examples you'll probably want to make them runtime scoped.
> slf4j-api is a direct compile time dependency, although currently it's retrieved as a "pseudo transitive dependency" through slf4j-log4j12 which explains why it currently compiles anyway.
> See drools-repository/pom.xml where I 've commented what I propose to change:
>  <dependency>
>           <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
>           <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
>         </dependency>
>         <dependency>
>           <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
>           <artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
>           <scope>test</scope>
>         </dependency>
>         <dependency>
>           <groupId>log4j</groupId>
>           <artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
>           <scope>test</scope>
