[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-3486) Include one ore more SLF4J "adapters"

[Sam Douglass (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3486?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=34536#action_34536 ] 

Sam Douglass commented on HHH-3486:
-----------------------------------

How are Maven users are completely unaffected? Since the Hibernate pom.xml doesn't specify dependencies on any specific adapters you can't actually use Hibernate by just adding a dependency on it to your project's pom.xml. You are required to additionally add a dependency on a specific SLF4J adapter to your project's pom.xml file. It's a bit like a missing dependency. The Hibernate pom.xml should specify a default adapter (e.g. the JDK adapter) to include so that just adding a dependency on Hibernate provides a working version of the API. Then people can optionally depend on a different adapter in their project's pom.xml file if they like.

> Hibernate, as of 3.3, no longer distributes all jars needed to run the framework.  SLF4J requires the inclusion of the SLF4J library as well as either a native or a wrapped implementation.  The manual vaguely references such a need but it's never quite clear that the user must visit the SLF4J website and obtain these jars himself.  Maven users are of course unaffected since the additional SLF4J jars are published in the central repo.
> "Adapter" may be the wrong term here but I think the point has been made :)
