Re: [seam-dev] Library version diff between CR1 and CR2

Actually, I put in that change. After inconveniencing the entire Java community for over two years, someone finally pestered the commons-logging team enough to remove those completely irrelevant dependencies from the commons-logging 1.1 POM file. The 1.1.1 release is nothing more than a change in the POM to mark those dependencies as optional (so we can remove the exclusions from our own root POM). If you have used Maven for any length of time, then you are well aware of these exclusions. As for the question of sl4j vs commons-logging, as Pete mentioned, it's not relevant in Seam. Seam uses its own abstraction layer to choose either log4j or jdk logging at runtime. We are likely going to research whether we can leverage sl4j in that abstraction (I think there is an open JIRA), but it's would not be about removing commons-logging. -Dan -- Dan Allen Software consultant | Author of Seam in Action http://mojavelinux.com http://mojavelinux.com/seaminaction NOTE: While I make a strong effort to keep up with my email on a daily basis, personal or other work matters can sometimes keep me away from my email.
