Hendy Irawan commented on JENA-583: ----------------------------------- BTW I still don't get why Jena needs to depend with optional=false? Even if Jena command line tools require a logging backend, Jena JARs can be built with log4j dependencies set to {{<optional>true</optional>}} . AFAIK the only time explicit dependency to logging backend is required is when building the Jena distro (zip/tar.gz) but I think at that stage you're already copying JARs into the {{lib}} directory anyway so might as well put log4j stuff there? > Get rid of log4j dependency in jena-core > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: JENA-583 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-583 > Project: Apache Jena > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Jena > Affects Versions: Jena 2.11.0 > Reporter: Francis De Brabandere > Labels: logging > > Apache jena core seems to pull in log4j and slf4j-log4j12, since you use > slf4j I would suppose I can plug in my own logging backend.
