Hi,

I use a plugin which has a runtime dependency on an slf4j implementation,
but the plugin itself is built without declaring one in its pom. (
https://github.com/koraktor/mavanagaiata/issues/43)

In some versions of Maven, I get a warning about slf4j not finding an
implementation. In other versions, it is silent.

Was an slf4j implementation provided in newer versions to the execution of
plugins?

Will there be a multiple-binding conflict if the plugin itself provides one
of its own to get rid of the warning on certain versions of maven which
result in that warning (I didn't see one when I tried)?

If there is a risk of a conflict, which implementation would be preferred
in order to converge on one provided by Maven?

Is there another solution the plugin should seek?

In general, what dependencies are plugins expected to provide, and what
dependencies are expected to be provided by Maven, and how are conflicts
resolved in the architecture?

Feel free to comment on the GitHub issue directly, or here. I'll be
watching both.

Thanks.
