Andrew C. Oliver commented on HHH-3486:
---------------------------------------

This is silly.  The core hibernate distribution zip file should include its dependencies like it always have even if it break's maven's purity of essence (like fluoride and spirits other than pure grain alcohol). You're putting out a distribution zip file that when all the "REQUIRED" directory is included still throws an exception because of a missing dependency that one has to google and go find a website to download it from (and to boot there is no like MISSING.txt that explains it or something".  If maven can't handle a "requires one of" dependency then that is a pretty big deficiency of it's implementation of basic logic.

> 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 :)
