Let me implement the changes I mentioned earlier as they represent a step forward. These changes will allow your library (or component) to depend on slf4j-api and nothing else. If my solution still does not meet your requirements, we can come back to this discussion. >The ClassLoader problems you had with the JCL are completely different and >do not exist with this solution (and those JCL issues don't mean using >ClassLoaders is always a bad thing either ;). Good point. However, the existing approach has served us well in the past. Granted, it's a pain on people developing binding but simple on our users. Of course, there is the multiple-dependency problem which will be fixed shortly. ><http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/ServiceLoader.html>http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/ServiceLoader.html Thanks for the link. -- Ceki Gülcü Logback: The reliable, generic, fast and flexible logging framework for Java. http://logback.qos.ch _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@slf4j.org http://www.slf4j.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
