             Summary: Logging: Depend only on slf4j and remove logback dependencies
                 Key: QPID-7747
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-7747
             Project: Qpid
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Tomas Klimavicius


Qpid is depending on logback as it's log implementation, but this makes it horrible to use inside your projects where you 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 dependency qpid does not compile since it has code like this - 
ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger logger = (ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger)LoggerFactory.getLogger("ROOT");
It just must have logback. And if you use something else you get a class cast exception. 
Also slf4j will complain on every startup when you have multiple implementations in your classpath
