Gili commented on WICKET-711:
-----------------------------

To clarify I am pushing two completely independent (though somewhat related) 
issues here:

1) Remove any dependecy on log4j because it causes ClassLoader issues 
(especially when mixed with Tomcat)
2) Consider bundling logback as the default slf4j implementation for the 
reasons mentioned above. Users can still switch to another implementation of 
their liking if necessary.

> Please consider removing Wicket's dependency on log4j. This can be achieved 
> quite easily by replacing slf-log4j*.jar by slf4j-simple*.jar. The 
> application footprint will shrink and all those ClassLoader problems log4j is 
> notorious for will go away: http://www.qos.ch/logging/classloader.jsp
> Finally, I recommend you consider migrating to logback, which is a native 
> implementation of slf4j by the author of log4j: http://logback.qos.ch/
> It's logging performance and output format is above and beyond what log4j 
> provides. Once you try it you'll fall in love with the output format. Just my 
> 2 cents :)
