The commit for review if anyone wants to take a look is here: https://github.com/tesla/maven-3/commit/4595e0860243854a7d80db8ebea97205aa4aca65
Ceki added support for logging to a file without massive contortions so I have defaulted the implementation to slf4j-simple which is small and provides the equivalent functionality to the previous setup. It can also be controlled by a simple configuration file. Everything is working but I would like to try and make one small change as currently in debug mode (-X) all the binding information that Sisu knows about is pushed to the console which is very distracting. I think this is more trace level information. Once that is resolved and I write the documentation about how the new logging system works and how the implementations can be swapped I'll dcommit to Apache. Then I'll add the tests and documentation for the JSR330 work. After that I'll look at the Aether integration. Hope to have this done over the weekend.
