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

[Ceki Gulcu (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3486?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=34585#action_34585 ] 

Ceki Gulcu commented on HHH-3486:
---------------------------------

SLF4J could easily default to an NOP implementation if no binding
artifact were found. However, this has the disadvantage of leaving the
user scratching her head wondering why no logging output is
generated. With SLF4J's current fail-fast approach, an error message
is displayed followed by and exception, the user adds the desired
binding artifact on the class path and the issue is solved for good.

It ain't perfect but it works.

You are welcome to create an SLF4J bug report at
http://bugzilla.slf4j.org. Continuing here is OK as far as I am
concerned.

> 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 :)
