One thing I stumbled upon are several remaining references to slf4j. I think they could all be removed, right? I'd add directly log4j as dependency to those projects which have a log4j.properties for testing purposes.

Right, technically there is no need for slf4j longer. If I remember right using slf4j was not just about being able to use other loggers underneath, but there was also another technical reason which evades me ATM. I am not sure whether this reason would still be valid now. I am fine though with removing slf4j. 
It might be worth to write a couple of sentences about logging in the documentation. That we are using JBoss logging and that you still need to add an actual logger framework, unless you are using Java logging in which case you need a logging.properties.
I think we should add this for the final release.

> With HV-481 we migrated to the JBoss Logging API. There are still some references to slf4j which should be removed now.
