[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Assigned: (HV-419) Update the dependency to slf4j-api to 1.6.x

Update the dependency to slf4j-api to 1.6.x ------------------------------------------- Key: HV-419 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-419 Project: Hibernate Validator Issue Type: Improvement Components: engine Reporter: Gunnar Morling Assignee: Kevin Pollet Fix For: 4.2.0.Beta2 Starting with version 1.6.0 (current is 1.6.1) slf4j doesn't require a binding anymore. If no binding is found on the classpath at runtime, simply no logging will happen, but no exception will be thrown as with previous versions the case. So by upgrading the dependency to slf4j-api to 1.6.x we will have one runtime dependency less for HV users who don't want/need HV's log messages.
