Alexey Kazakov reassigned JBIDE-23414:
--------------------------------------

    Component/s: central
                     (was: hibernate)
    Description: 
Because central use Require-Bundle instead of Import-Package to depend on slf4j.api, this project cannot use the rhel implementation (rh-common-java rpm) version of slf4j.api 1.7.4 .jar when installed via rpm on rhel/fedora.

Here's the line that is causing the problem:

https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-central/blob/fc4bfc7aea223c95b71f9e7634f4cb17d1af1461/maven/plugins/org.jboss.tools.maven.gwt/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF#L13

We need to switch to using Import-Package to that *any* implementation of this package, regardless of *Bundle-SymbolicName*, can be used.

More info in  JBDS-4136
