sorry, didn't catch this reply earlier. I see, but then we are back to my original problem. Once you add e.g. log4j-slf4j binding then you will get nasty class cast exceptions because they are not fully binary compatible. If there is a log4j.jar in the classpath of the plugin already then it might even crash with a weird Exception.
I've seen such problems in the wild. This is nothing which slf4j does wrong - it's just not really possible to do it 100% right. We imo only have the option to choose between different kinds of 'broken'.
