What version of Qpid is this referring to?
We already did some work in this space in Qpid v6.1 and more on trunk.

> Qpid is depending on logback as it's log implementation, but this makes it horrible to use inside projects that already use log4j or slf4j-jdk14.
> It would be much easier for users if the source code would only depened on slf4j. Now if we exclude logback and expect qpid to use our provided logger the code does not compile since qpid actually depends on logback - 
> ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger logger = (ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger)LoggerFactory.getLogger("ROOT");
> And if you use something else you get a class cast exception. 
> Also slf4j complains on every startup when you have multiple implementations in your classpath
